All of my days I want to praise, the wonders of Your mighty love.
My comfort, my shelter, tower of refuge and strength,
Let every breath, all that I am, never cease to worship You.
CHORUS: Shout to the Lord, All the earth let us sing Power and majesty, Praise to the King. Mountains bow down And the seas will roar At the sound of Your name. I sing for joy at the work of Your hands.
Forever I’ll love You, Forever I’ll stand. Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
“The light of the body is the eye. So then if your eye is generous, the whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is grudging, your whole body will be in the dark. If, then, the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness!” MATTHEW 22-23
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. JOHN 14:26
I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus PHILLIPIANS 1:6
