Worship Wednesday

We sang this song last Sunday in church and I find myself singing it in my car everyday! I made my favorite parts bigger than the rest. Our days are always changing. We find ourselves constantly busy surrounded by change and so much going on. I pray that everyday I wake up singing and praising the Lord no matter what has happened or what is to come. That part seems possible right... after a full nights rest I can praise Jesus and thank Him. But can I still be doing it after a long day of work, spit up, diaper changes, exhaustion, washing bottles... I pray that for all of us today. If you started your day off rough, it isn't too late to turn it around- try worshipping. It is incredibly difficult to stay filled with anger, resentment, frustration, etc. when you are worshipping. No matter what comes of the day, the Lord is your rock. May we all still be singing when the evening comes.

If you know my husband and me, we love worship. I love private worship, I love corporate worship. I love worship and praise music. We do the contemporary thing but I love old hymns. I feel closer to God in times of worship. That is part of why I love this song... so much of it is about just that- worshipping! So you know why that second part is highlighted where it speaks of our praise being unending and worshipping forevermore. I love the idea of getting to Heaven and gathering with every tribe and every tongue and worshipping forever. I get covered in chills thinking about that!

Side Note: Matt Redman= amazing Christian songwriter (and singer).

Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore

Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

Jesus, I'll worship Your holy name
Lord, I'll worship Your holy name

Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
Jesus, I'll worship Your holy name
I'll worship Your holy name
