Praise Him!\u201d was one of her hymns and it has always been one of my favorites. It\u2019s lively. It has a fabulous message and it gives praise to Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I recall trying to play this hymn during worship services like some of the piano greats of the past. I was never quite able to do so, but still, it is a fun song to play as well as sing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are feeling the least bit overwhelmed by the cares of this world, this hymn will probably pull you out of that pit. Why? Because He has carried our burden to the cross and He is victorious! He also asks that we give Him our daily burdens as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Your heart will be full of praise, your face will take on Jesus\u2019 countenance and your toes will be tapping as you listen to this hymn of praise. You might even move around a bit\u2026I can\u2019t guarantee that you\u2019ll sit still.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So enjoy today\u2019s melody\u2026 \u201cPraise Him!

Praise Him!&quot;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BKjAdtBsisY\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>) because of the Scripture they intertwine with the hymn. How can we cease to praise God when He\u2019s done so much for us? I don\u2019t believe it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today, let\u2019s praise Jesus for who He is and for what He\u2019s done.
