The Call to Sing Praise
The Bible is filled with this command, from Moses and Miriam to David and the apostles. It is a universal call for all creation to honor God.
"Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples." - 1 Chronicles 16:23-24
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God." - Colossians 3:16

A Song of Praise (Based on Scripture)
Here is a lyrical expression of praise, drawing from the themes we've discussed: God's unchanging nature, His faithful presence, and His great salvation.
(Verse 1)
I will sing praise to the One who never changes,
The same yesterday,today, forever.
Your love is steadfast,Your word is sure,
In a shifting world,Your promise will endure.
(Chorus)
Holy,holy, holy Lord!
With all my heart,I sing praise to You, God.
My voice will rise,my soul proclaim,
The glory of Your wonderful name!
(Verse 2)
I will sing praise to the One who will not forsake me,
You are my helper,my strength, my song.
In darkest valley or in the light,
You are my refuge,my day and night.
(Chorus)
Holy,holy, holy Lord!
With all my heart,I sing praise to You, God.
My voice will rise,my soul proclaim,
The glory of Your wonderful name!
(Bridge)
You are the Blessing promised to Abraham,
Fulfilled in Christ,the great I AM.
Through Jesus'blood, I'm reconciled,
I am Your child,I am Your child!
(Outro)
So I'll sing praise with every breath,
Through life and through death.
God is my helper,I'll not fear,
My song of praise will echo here!

How to Sing Praise Today
Praise isn't just for a church service; it's a posture of the heart. You can sing praise:
· Alone with God: Let your morning commute or quiet time be filled with worship music or your own songs from the heart.
· With Others: There is power when God's people lift their voices together in unity.
· In All Circumstances: Praise is especially powerful when it's a sacrifice—when we choose to praise God even in difficulty, trusting His character (Acts 16:25).
"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!" - Psalm 150:6
Go forth and sing His praise
