LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH ~ PRAISE THE LORD
When I awoke this bright Morning
I praised GOD for all His Blessings
I resolved to tell everyone !
That GOD is Good ~ that GOD is Love
My language is inadequate
My songs of praise ~ often off-key!
But ~ morning bird-song praises You
Trees and flowers show your Glory
The green hills and soaring mountains
Valleys and plains ~ lakes and rivers
The vast oceans that pound our shores
Proclaim your greatness ~ O MY GOD !
HOW WONDERFUL TO BE ALIVE
TODAY ~ AND PRAISE YOU ~ O MY GOD !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Blessings ~ BRIAN

- Comment from author about the poem: The Book of Psalms is at the centre of the BIBLE and is the most beautiful Book of Poetry ever written. It is full of praise to our Creator God ~ His Glory and His Love. There are only 150 Psalms but thousands of hymns have been based on them. Each Sunday I write a poem based on a Psalm. This is to uplift our hearts and minds ~ not only for SUNDAY ~ but the whole week. Thanks for your comments ~ much appreciated. There is much to Praise God for ~ but also much to pray to God about ! Use of Chemical Weapons in Syria and the consequences of Presidents Trump's military response. The widening ideological gap between Russia and the UK & USA. Terrorist activities in London and Stockholm etc. We all need to be more vigilant and more prayerful. Comments welcome ~ Love ~ Peace ~ Joy ~ BRIAN XOX

Off to the Palm Sunday Service soon, Alleluia!
Thanks for your response BROTHER ! I find that regular attendance at the Services of my local Church is very important to my Christian growth and development. It is also important to meet my neighbours who are Christians ~ so we can pray for our Town and its Communities. Every Blessing on PALM SUNDAY ~ BRIAN
A fine write. One of mine is based on part of Psalm 89. Near the end of it there's a 'but' and the tone changes - not the musical tone! Some parts of some Psalms seem tricky to write joyful poems on.
That is true "O" ! There is so so much melancholy poetry on MPS ~ I try to inject a bit of joy and praise ~ to encourage the depressed. Hence I try to bring out all the JOY & PRAISE there is in the PSALMS and ignore the angst ! BRIAN
Thanks B. I read a commentary that's there's reasons for parts of the Psalms that have, as an article said
'Self-justification, vengeance and cursing in the Psalms', some of which is due to Old Testament ways of thinking. Yet all of human life is there. So we know David and other Psalm-writers did not have it all cosy and sweet. Erm, the angst bits are not - what's the word? - 'agreeable' for joyful themes! Go up to about verse 37, with Psalm 89! You will see the 'but' after that.
a wonderful blessing for this sacred day and time. thanks Brain
Wonderful poem especially during times like these. When you say "my language is inadequate", I too feel like words cannot express how good God is and how He works through us. Good one! Spiritual hug--Christina
