Greatness Gratitude

Tune: Hanover

('O worship the King')

Psalm 145 v.1 -11

*******

I will extol you, my God and my King

Bless your name for e'er,and joyfully sing

Each day I will bless you, unto you give praise

Melodious songs and tunes unto you raise

 

I will praise your name ever and ever

Your power has no end, and it fails never

Great are you LORD, and greatly you to be praised

Your greatness unsearchable, we are amazed

 

One generation shall to another

Praise your works to each sister and brother

Shall declare your mighty acts, holy and strong

And speak of your acts sure, through day and night long

 

Will speak of the glorious honour, see

Of your wondrous works, and your majesty

And people shall speak of your doings awesome

And tell of your greatness, to us it has come

 

They shall abundantly your memory

Utter, and recall your great goodness free

Shall sing of your righteousness, you be gracious

Full of compassion, slow of anger to us

 

You of great mercy, and good unto all

Your tender mercies o'er us, we not fall

All your works LORD shall praise you, your people bless

You, your glory, kingdom, power shall confess

        Silence is Golden, but if we must vocalize then let it be positive, such as your words here

        • ANGELA & BRIAN

          HI UNCLE STEVE : ANGELA HERE ! Its NOON (Friday) and Ive just finished my First Clinic : So Im having a PIZZA and an Apple Juice and catching up with MPS. Loved the Hymn & the Harmony : Just what a GIRL needs to keep her on her feet all day. Being a PHYSIO is a very much standing up Job and not sedentary ! Thats why Im so slim & fit and need PIZZA to keep me going (salad not fries !). Its AQUATHERAPY this afternoon so I be up to my neck in warm water ! Very good to restore mobility for Horses & Geriatrics ! You should try it at your local Spa : Its available on the NHS (Nubile Horses Swim !) Love your paraphrase on PSALM 145 : A great Psalm of PRAISE here is my take on the opening verse ...... !

          GOD IS HERE : lets celebrate !
          Lets engage our lips & lives in perpetual Celerbration
          Bcause of GOD*s Goodness & Graciousness !
          Let us announce GOD*s Presence to MPS ~ AMEN
          And to the Whole World : every single DAY !
          And let us proclaim His Love & Concern to EVERYBODY !

          You sure are somebody who does that UNCLE STEVE : THANKS !
          Blessings and Peace and Joy to YOU and Frolicsome FIDO
          Love in the SPIRIT ANGELA & BRIAN (Hes - in BED - 1am !)
          🧡 🧡 🧡 🧡 + 🧡
