A Hallelujah Chorus of One

1. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.
Psalm 111 King James Version (KJV) 111 Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. 2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. 3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion. 5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. 6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. 7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. 8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. 9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
There are days when praises to God utterly fill my heart. Those are the days when I know that there is nothing more important than taking time to just be filled with the wonder of being a child of God. He has given us so much to enjoy on the earth from the glorious sunsets over the waters to the sounds of a single bird in the distance. We have only to open our hearts, eyes and ears to glory in His creations. During times when we struggle with the inconsistencies of man we can find solace in the honor and righteousness of our unchanging God. He is always there for us. He never forsakes us. How wonderful to have a Father who forgives our foolish weaknesses and welcomes us into His bosom of protection with open arms. How wonderful to have a love that is not dependent on our looks, our actions or even our faithfulness. He loves us. Despite all of our weaknesses, He loves us! I thank You, Lord, for the gift of salvation. I thank You, Lord, for the New Covenant of Jesus Christ which includes me. I thank You, Lord, for the precious gift of the Holy Spirit.
Psalm 117 King James Version (KJV) 117 O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. 2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.
1. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth. May God Forever Be a Blessing in Your Life!!!
