Let me honour you.

 Let Me Honour You

A Reflection on Psalm 86:12, Psalm 34:1, and 1 Chronicles 16:29

Let me honour You—not with empty words or hollow praise,

But with a life that seeks to glorify You in all my ways.

Let my heart be a sanctuary where Your presence dwells,

Let my lips declare Your goodness, let my life tell the story of Your grace.

I will give thanks to You, Lord my God, with all my heart, and will glorify Your name forever. (Psalm 86:12)

Let me honour You—in the morning when I rise,

In the quiet before the day demands its cries.

Let my first thought be of You, my first breath a prayer,

Let me carry Your presence into every affair.

Let me honour You—in the busyness of the day,

When the world is loud and I am tempted to stray.

Let me pause and remember who You are,

Let me be a reflection of Your character near and far.

Let me honour You—in the stillness of the night,

When the chaos fades and the stars give light.

Let me meditate on Your faithfulness and love,

Let me lift my hands in praise to the heavens above.

I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. (Psalm 34:1)

Let me honour You—in my words, in my deeds,

In my thoughts, in my actions, in my needs.

Let me not seek my own glory, but Yours alone,

Let me make Your name known to every heart, to every home.

Let me honour You—not just with my lips,

But with the way I live, the way I give.

Let my life be a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to You,

A testament to the One who makes all things new.

Give to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness. (1 Chronicles 16:29)

So I will honour You—in times of joy and times of tears,

In the laughter and the sorrow, through the triumphs and the fears.

For You alone are worthy of all honour and praise,

And I will honour You, Lord, for all of my days.

Let me honour You—with every breath, every step, every choice,

With a grateful heart, a willing voice.

You are my Lord, my God, my King,

And to You, I bring my offering.

I will honour You, Lord. Let it be so.

Amen.
