When I was younger one of my favourite songs was based on Psalm 134. Come bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord who stand by night in the house of the Lord, lift up your hands in the holy place and bless the Lord… It is so easy in the stress laden society to lose sight of our Lord and to forget to thank him for all the things he has done for us, again I am reminded of John 15, 10-17 of how much he loves us
You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. This is my command: Love each other.
Take time today to Praise, Bless, Thank your Lord for his love to you which knows no bounds
Psalm 134 – Oh, Praise The Lord
Oh, praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD
Place him first in your lives, not second or third
Worship him, your God who stands by his word
He calls you into house, let his voice be heard
Come into his presence, be of one holy accord
Worship him, praise him, he is your holy LORD
Open your ears let his Holy Spirit be heard
Hear, contemplate, and do what is in his word
You who serve by night in the house of the LORD
Lift up holy hands in prayer, and praise the LORD
He is your God, search and meditate on his word
Take off your shoes, you stand on holy ground
Worship him with all you are, giving to your Lord
Know his presence in your lives he’s all around
May the LORD, who made heaven and earth
Bless you from Jerusalem
Our LORD loves our praise rising from earth
He delights in all of them
As his people praise him it is like incense from earth
Will you tonight worship him?
