There are some songs or hymns out there are just plain difficult to sing or play. In years past, I\u2019ve had to sing or play some of these songs and while I understand their value, I must admit I would fret over the notes to sing or play instead of worshiping God.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"0005030206R-849x565\"<\/a>\u00a0The song I offer today is not one of those songs. It\u2019s simple. It\u2019s easy. There are very few words. It\u2019s beautiful. And for all of these reasons, I find it very easy to praise God throughout this song. It\u2019s one of my favorites because of its simplicity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this song I find peace, comfort, strength, assurance, and rest. In this song I can praise God for all that He is in just a few words. Therefore I can sing with eyes closed and hands lifted in complete surrender to Him. It\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Revelation 5:12 (NIV) is the song sung by thousands and thousands of angels around the throne as seen by John in his revelation. Their song was simple as well. \u201cWorthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Lamb of God deserves our best, but sometimes He is best praised through simple words.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today I pray that you will take the time to praise the Lamb for all that He\u2019s done in your life for only He is worthy of our praise. I also pray that this song would be a catalyst of your praise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cTo him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.\u201d<\/i> (Revelation 5:13-14 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAgnus Dei\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alleluia
\nAlleluia
\nFor the Lord God Almighty reigns<\/p>\n

Alleluia
\nAlleluia
\nFor the Lord God Almighty reigns<\/p>\n

Alleluia
\nHoly
\nHoly are You Lord God Almighty
\nWorthy is the Lamb
\nWorthy is the Lamb<\/p>\n

You are holy
\nHoly are you Lord God Almighty
\nWorthy is the Lamb
\nWorthy is the Lamb<\/p>\n

Amen[i]<\/a><\/p>\n

If you click here<\/a>, you\u2019ll find an acappella version of this song which I know you\u2019ll enjoy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or you can click here <\/a>for the more traditional Michael W. Smith version.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s make today a great day of praise!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Donna<\/p>\n
