From the rising of the sun 'til the sun goes down
Let the Name of the Lord be praised
We're gathered to worship
becoming a choir to sing Your praise
Lifting our voices,
joining our hearts in this house today
People of God, in the power of God
for the Kingdom of God, we sing
From the rising of the sun 'til the sun goes down
Let the Name of the Lord be praised
From the rising of the sun 'til the sun goes down
Let the Name of the Lord be praised
From the sky to the depths, from the east to the west
We give You praise
We give You praise
We've gathered to go out
to cities and towns we'll take Your name
Into the nations,
shining Your light in the darkest place
People of God, in the power of God
for the Kingdom of God, we live
From the rising of the sun 'til the sun goes down
Let the Name of the Lord be praised
From the rising of the sun 'til the sun goes down
Let the Name of the Lord be praised
From the sky to the depths, from the east to the west
We give You praise, we give You praise
From the rising of the sun 'til the sun goes down
Let the Name of the Lord be praised
- Matt Redman, Paul Baloche
I want that song to be my anthem. Let the name of the Lord be praised. If we have even the slightest glimpse of His greatness, of His awesomeness, of His wondrous power, then how can we do anything but praise Him? I've been so in awe of His character over these last weeks and months, so incredible amazed at who He is and how mighty His hand is and how incredible and vast and deep His love and compassion are. God is beyond description, beyond even evocation, but I will strive for all of my days to evoke His incomparable glory. It makes me want to leap and dance and shout and sing and write a million symphonies for a million instruments to somehow, maybe, give Him just a fraction of the praise He's due. When was the last time you let yourself be awed by Him? To be swept away by the sheer incomprehensibility of His terrible greatness? If we did indeed sing from the rising of the sun until its going down every day for the rest of eternity, we still couldn't praise Him enough. I hope and pray that each of us will come to understand His immensity, His splendor, His passionate love, more and more every day. I pray we will be more humbled, more emboldened, more joy-filled, and more holy as we pursue a deeper knowledge of the transcendent and truly remarkable God we serve.
May the Spirit guide you and keep you. Walk in the power that Christ has given for us. Rest in the Father's arms. Be blessed, all of you!
