We pour all our praise.

 We Pour All Our Praise

A Reflection on Psalm 34:1, Romans 12:1, and Hebrews 13:15

We pour all our praise—not a trickle, not a taste,

But a flood of holy worship, a holy, urgent haste.

From the depths of grateful hearts, from spirits set free,

We pour our praise upon You, for all the world to see.

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

We pour our praise—like fragrant oil,

Like a sweet and holy toil.

Not withheld, not measured out,

But poured without a shadow of doubt.

We pour our praise in the morning, when the sun begins to rise,

We pour our praise in the evening, when the moon adorns the skies.

We pour our praise in the storm, when the rain is pouring down,

We pour our praise at the altar, where our hearts lay down their crown.

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess His name. (Hebrews 13:15)

We pour our praise—not for what we get,

But for the love that will not let us forget.

Not for the blessings that we hold,

But for the story that is told

Of a God who saves, who heals, who restores,

Who opens heaven's doors.

We pour our praise—with our hands lifted high,

With our voices raised to the sky.

With our lives laid down as a living sacrifice,

Holy and pleasing, a fragrant spice.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. (Romans 12:1)

We pour our praise—over our families, our homes,

Over the broken, the weary, the ones who roam.

Let the praise of God cover the earth,

Let it declare our Savior's worth.

So we pour all our praise—today, tomorrow, always.

For You alone are worthy of all our days.

We pour all our praise—let it rise like incense sweet,

A fragrant offering, a worship complete.

Amen.
