Praise Ye, the Lord!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you ever went to Sunday School, youth camp or vacation Bible school, I suspect you have. And if you remember with me, the goal was to see who could sing it the loudest. The boys or the girls. Or the right side or the left side. I guess there was just something about screaming these words at the top of our lungs that seemed worshipful. What do you think?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If those singing (or shouting) this song truly knew the meaning of these words, as well as understood praise and worship, then I suspect this song was worshipful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, I pray that our time of worship has evolved as we\u2019ve grown older. Not necessarily dampened or stifled, but as we\u2019ve grown in our relationship with Jesus, I pray that we have taken our worship to the next level (or the 50<sup>th<\/sup> level).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today when we sing \u201cHallelujah,\u201d do you know what it means? The songwriters of that little ditty knew that hallelujah and praise the Lord are equivalent. So when you see \u201cHallelujah!\u201d in Scripture, you\u2019re really reading \u201cPraise the Lord!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Psalm 111 begins with these very words<em>. \u201cPraise the Lord.\u201d<\/em> (Psalm 111:1 \u2013 NIV) As do Psalm 103, 104, 106, 112, 113, 117, 134, 135, 146, 147, 148, 149 and 150. They all begin with \u201cPraise the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So what does that tell you? For me, it shows me how I am to worship. I am to begin worship with praise. Sometimes it can be big and loud, while other times it can be soft and gentle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s song I want to share with you is a song that helps us to remember why and how we should praise God. Let\u2019s not let today get away from us without spending time in praise to our God and Father. \u201cPraise ye, the Lord!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHallelujah (Your Love Makes Me Sing)\u201d<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Your love is amazing<br \/>\nSteady and unchanging<br \/>\nYour love is a mountain<br \/>\nFirm beneath my feet<\/p>\n<p>Your love is a mystery<br \/>\nHow You gently lift me<br \/>\nWhen I am surrounded<br \/>\nYour love carries me<\/p>\n<p>Your love is surprising<br \/>\nI can feel it rising<br \/>\nAll the joy that&#8217;s growing<br \/>\nDeep inside of me<br \/>\nAnd every time I see you<br \/>\nAll your goodness shines through<br \/>\nAnd I can feel this God song rising up in me<\/p>\n<p>Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah<br \/>\nYour love makes me sing<br \/>\nHallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah<br \/>\nYour love makes me sing<\/p>\n<p>Your love is surprising<br \/>\nI can feel it rising<br \/>\nAll the joy that&#8217;s growing<br \/>\nDeep inside of me<br \/>\nAnd every time I see you<br \/>\nAll your goodness shines through<br \/>\nAnd I can feel this God song rising up in me<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=G3FrsFBrD3I\">here <\/a>to listen to this fun song!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Donna<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> \u201cHallelujah (Your Love Makes Me Sing)\u201d, words and music by Brenton Brown and Brian Doerksen, Vineyard Songs, 2000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Did you remember singing this song as a child? &nbsp; \u201cHallelu, hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah!
