December 19 Devotion

Praise ye the Lord
-a response to Psalm 148-

Praise ye the Lord for open eyes, so we may always see,
The journey we must travel, as we face eternity.

Praise ye the Lord, for all our friends, who help us on our way,
Providing strength and comfort, as we live from day to day.

Praise ye the Lord for Daddies, who are strong and bold and fair,
And Moms who kiss our wounded knees, with a bandage and a prayer.

Praise ye the Lord for happy times, a life with laughter and love,
Praise ye the Lord for those stormy winds, to reveal your calm from above.

Praise ye the Lord for hope and prayer, and the promise of Eternal Life,
Those rainbows we keep seeking, in our times of pain and strife.

We praise your Name, O Lord above, in all things that we do,
Knowing on that final day, we lived our life for you.
