When did you last give God praise?

When did you last give God praise?

When did you last raise your voice in true worship?

Not vain, controlled, forced,

The Truth and Spirit kind of worship.

Does God deserve your praise?

For His son,

Who faced death that you may boldly take on life

When you were soaked in sin and covered in guilt

Now you are redeemed, you dance on the stage of salvation

Yet you forget the one who made the show.

You no longer wake up in the morning with shouts of

All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful,

The Lord God made them all.

You no longer receive your meals with a sense and content, care and the strings of that beautiful tune

Some have food but cannot eat

Some can eat but have no food

We have food and we can eat

Glory be to thee oh Lord.

Have you forgotten that you have been ordained for a life of praise and gratitude?

Have you forgotten that God broke your chains to loose your praise?

You remember that song Óh that men?

Oh that men would praise the Lord

Oh that men would praise the Lord

For His goodness and for His wonderful works

To the children of men, to the children of men

He has broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron asunder.

Oh how you have forgotten those days of pure consecration

When you rushed with excitement to the altar for a cleansing

When all life meant was a time with the most high

When the focus alone was heaven

When the desire was for the coming of Christ

Now you are tired of waiting

His praise has gone sour in your mouth

His worship is diluted with doubts

His purity baked in your guilt

Hiding his praise, Yet sipping on his goodness

Complaining of lack, yet breathing life

Complaining of stagnancy yet walking on two legs

Complaining of sad days yet with eyes wide open you behold the dawning of a new day.

God does everything good yet man sees everything bad.

You have forgotten the days when you sang

Everywhere He went, He was doing good,

Almighty Jesus, Healed the leper,

When cripple saw Him,

They started walking, Everywhere He went my God was doing good.

I’m not asking you to praise today,

I’m just asking you to think,

Oh man think.

Think of the reason,

The reason why you live,

The reason why you were called

The reason why you were created.

God can raise stones,

He can call trees,

He can summon the sun,

He can move the moon

Oh for his praise.

Think not oh man for a second

That you are His only source of praise,

Think not oh man

Start praising from a place of knowledge, not a place of right

If you were ordained for praise why then do you not praise?

There is someone asking now?

Why do we sing?

When we lift our voice to Jesus

What do we really mean?

Someone may be wondering

When we sing a song,

At times we may be crying

When nothing’s even wrong

I sing because I’m happy

I sing because I’m free,

His eyes is on the sparrow

That’s the reason why I sing.
