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:
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord
God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not
eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We
may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not
eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must
not touch it, or you will die. You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to
the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be
opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” GENESIS 3:1-5
