Psalm 117:1-2 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.
If we are saved, we are sons of God.
We are secure in Jesus forever, headed to a city called Heaven.
Those things are ours and cannot be touched by this world, by time or by Satan.
Therefore, we have a reason to praise the Lord, even when life is harsh, Luke 10:20.)
To God Be The Glory
______________________
To God be the glory, great things He hath done; — So loved He the world that He gave us His Son, — Who yielded His life an atonement for sin, — And opened the life gate that all may go in.
CHORUS:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, — Let the earth hear His voice! — Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, — Let the people rejoice! — O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son, — And give Him the glory, great things He hath done.
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, — To every believer the promise of God; — The vilest offender who truly believes, — That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done, — And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son; — But purer, and higher, and greater will be — Our wonder, our rapture, when Jesus we see.
