"Praise God"

Praise God by Edna Tatum

When you enter life apart from God and his grace
That's Isolation
When God comes to see you,
That's visitation
And when He unveils the mysteries of eternity
That's revelation
When you think of his marvelous goodness
That's called meditation
When you expect to see him, you do expect to see him
That's called anticipation
When you feel his spirit moving on the altars of your heart
That's motivation
When you share in Kingdom building
That's participation
When you tell of his Goodness and mercy
That's recitation
When you glorify and praise him
That's celebration

And when all of these belong to your experience you can't
help but to shout and you'll have to say

You may or may not do it like others do it like others do
it but you'll do something

You'll open up, you will let go, you'll give vent to the Spirit
You'll let the over flow, flow

You may not jump up and down, but, you'll shed a tear
You may not cry, but, you'll pat a foot

You may not pat a foot, but, you'll clap your hands
Something will happen, something will move you
Something will touch you and you'll feel something
So you can say praise God from whom all blessings flow

Praise God that spoke to mother's earth, and she dressed up
in a green garment

He rolled this terrestrial ball out into space and baptized it with
a liquid mist

Laid out the green carpets on the earth tacked it down with daffodils,
snapdragons lilies, roses and trees. He ordered a variety of blooming
flowers and transfigured it into marvelous attractions

Praise God, the one that deferred the counsel of the Holy Trinity and
organized an angelic host to furnish music while the glory of his father
flooded the hills of Bethlehem – stepped on a heavenly made airplane
and rolled down in a low ground of sorrow and leaped into the virgin Mary

And was born one day in the city of David wrapped in swaddling clothes and
laid in a manger
Praise God who makes me walk like I'm rich and I don't have to have a dime
in the bank
Praise God who allows me to sleep on a pillow of peace and cushion of
confidence
He can open doors that no man can shut and if I'm running a little late
he'll hold them open until I get there

Praise God – He's our rock, our strength, our hope, our guide, our peace,
our life, our salvation, our Lord, our Saviour, our all and all

Praise God – who said to the triune "Let us make man" and the word "let"
went into action and God stooped down, gathered dust together, piled it
up into earth, molded it, and made it like he wanted it, and when he was
satisfied with that he made with his own hand, he stood it up, breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul.

This is why we praise God from whom all blessings flow
Thank you Jesus
Thank you Lord
We praise your name
Your worthy to be praised.
