From Psalm 111:1: “Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation.”
Pessimistic and gloomy attitude
One negative brick follows another
Suffocating and negative self-talk
Sounding more like Eeyore’s little brother
Time for transforming callous attitude
With praise and thanksgiving, eyes upon God
His Grace offering truest Bread of Life
Believe, follow, accept His blessed rod
Breathing in our Lord’s trusted, living Word
Dropping negativity’s jagged sword
Accepting our Father’s mercy and love
Trading bitterness for His sweet accord
Learning from God’s Holy teachings and creeds
Feeling His just and faithful, love-filled works
Listening to each breath, His spoken Word
Maturing in faith’s righteous masterworks
Embracing God’s eternal covenant
Studying His Word, bearing full delight
Celebrating Him with salutations
Singing with attitude of praise, now right
From Psalm 111:10: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever.”

God’s invitation
Walking before Me
Fleeing sin’s darkness
Peace shall cover thee
Confidence cries out
Embracing God’s way
Leaving wilderness
Hope transcends this day
God’s glory revealed
Kneeling before Me
Comforting presence
Tomorrow walks free
Each valley raised up
Revealing God’s grace
Rebuilding faith’s trust
Joy beams from His face
God’s will standing tall
Sharing Word with Me
Believing His truth
Mercy granted thee
From Isaiah 40:31: “But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
