Psalm 33: 1-3

 

Psalm 33:3

Rejoice in The LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him. 

Philippians 4:4

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

Psalm 5:11

But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You. 

Psalm 32:11

Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart. 

Psalm 33:2

Praise The LORD with the harp;

Make music to Him with ten strings.

Psalm 43:4

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.

I love the sound of the harp. It flows over me like a waterfall of melody.

Psalm 33:3

Sing to Him a new song: Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

Psalm 40:3

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in The LORD.

Psalm 98:4

Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth--let your cry ring out, and sing praises! 

The word 'praise' is used quite a few hundred times in The Holy Bible and can be translated at least seven different ways. 

Sometimes the word 'praise' means to sing (halal), kneel (barak); yadah (to throw your hands out in front of you or to raise hands/arms), zamar (make music), shabach (shout); towdah (choir of singers); tehillah (hymn or song). 

When we let The Spirit lead us in studying God's Word, we allow Him to teach us how to worship God the way God wants us to worship Him.

YHVH CHELEQ

(pronounced yeh-ho-vaw' khay-lek)

THE LORD MY PORTION

Lamentations 3:24

"The LORD is my Portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in Him."

Portion: profit, reward, chosen way of life

Psalm 16:5

The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.

Psalm 73:26

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Psalm 119:57

The LORD is my portion; I have promised to keep Your words.

Joshua 24:15

"And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

Micah 4:5

Though each of the peoples may walk in the name of his god, yet we will walk in the Name of the LORD our God forever and ever.

Romans 10:8-10

But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart." That is, the word of faith which we proclaim, that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.

YHVH ELOHIM SHEMESH MAGEN

(pronounced yeh-ho-vaw' el-o-heem' sheh'-mesh maw-gane')

THE LORD GOD IS SUN AND SHIELD 

Psalm 84:11

For the LORD God is a Sun and Shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Revelation 21:23

And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp.

It's a personal thing. God came to Abram personally and told him that He was his Shield. Genesis 15:1 After these events, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward."

When we become God's people -- people of faith, who walk according to His Word -- He tells each one of us that He is our Sun and Shield. Therefore, THE LORD GOD IS MY SUN AND MY SHIELD. 

Psalm 34:9

Fear the LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.

Isaiah 60:19

The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. 

YAH YHVH

(pronounced yaw yeh-ho-vaw oze zim-rawth')

THE LORD GOD IS MY STRENGTH AND MY SONG

Isaiah 12:2

"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my Strength and my Song, and He has become my salvation."

Exodus 15:2

The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father's God, and I will exalt Him.

Psalm 18:32-36

It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear. He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places. He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms. You have given me Your shield of salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your gentleness exalts me. You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.

Psalm 118:14

The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation.

Isaiah 26:4

Trust in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. 

Psalm 145:1

I will exalt You, my God and King; I will bless Your name forever and ever. 

Nobody Sure Is Busy

This is a song I wrote a few years back. A friend liked it so much I dedicated it to him. 

Nobody came to the altar

Nobody came to pray

Nobody saw when Jesus left

'Cause Nobody even stayed.

Nobody came to the service tonight

Nobody gave God praise

Nobody saw when Jesus cried

For Nobody here got saved.

Nobody sure is busy

Doing the Lord's work today

If only Somebody

Would tell Anybody

Then Everybody would see

God's love in action

God's grace in motion

And Nobody here would leave.

Nobody came to see Jesus

Nobody came to sing

Nobody even falls to their knees

'Cause Nobody knows everything.

Somebody needs to show Jesus'

Mercy and Grace and Life

To Anybody who listens and hears

But Nobody seems to care.

Nobody sure is busy

Doing the Lord's work today

If only Somebody 

Would tell Anybody

Then Everybody would see

God's love in action

God's grace in motion

And Nobody here would leave.

Then Nobody here would leave.

Know The Song, Know The Word

Exodus 15:2

"The LORD Is My Strength and SONG,

And He is become my salvation:

He Is My God, and I will

prepare for Him a habitation:

My father's God, and I will exalt Him.

John 1:1, 12, 14

1. In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was God.

12. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God,

even to them that believe on His name.

14. And The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,

(and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of The Father,) full of grace and truth.

Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God,

The Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world is The Song and The Word.

When we know The Song, we know The Word.

It's an intimate, personal relationship which we have with our Lord and Savior.

Don't let anybody tell you different, either.

Spanish:

Éxodo 15: 2

"El SEÑOR es mi fuerza y mi CANCIÓN,

Y Él se convirtió en mi salvación:

Él es mi Dios, y lo haré

preparad para Él una morada:

El Dios de mi padre, y lo exaltaré.

Juan 1: 1, 12, 14

1. En el principio era La Palabra, y La Palabra estaba con Dios, y La Palabra era Dios.

12. Pero a todos los que lo recibieron, les dio poder para llegar a ser hijos de Dios,

incluso los que creen en su nombre.

14. Y el Verbo se hizo carne, y habitó entre nosotros (y vimos su gloria,

la gloria como el unigénito del Padre), lleno de gracia y de verdad.

Jesucristo, el Hijo unigénito de Dios,

el Cordero de Dios que quita los pecados del mundo es La Canción y La Palabra.

Cuando conocemos La Canción, conocemos La Palabra.

Es una relación íntima y personal que tenemos con nuestro Señor y Salvador.

No dejes que nadie te diga nada tampoco.

Macedonian:

Излез 15: 2

"Господ е моја сила и ПЕСНА,

И Он стана мој спасение:

Тој е мој Бог, и јас ќе го сторам тоа

подготви за Него живеалиште:

Бог на татко ми, и јас ќе го издигнам.

Јован 1: 1, 12, 14

1. Во почетокот беше Словото, и Словото беше со Бога, и Словото беше Бог.

12. Но колку што Го примија, им дадоа сила да станат Божји синови,

дури и оние кои веруваат во Неговото име.

14. И Словото стана тело и се насели меѓу нас,

и ја видовме Неговата слава, славата како Единороден од Отецот,

полн со благодат и вистина.

Исус Христос, Единороден Син Божји, Јагнето Божјо,

кое ги одзема гревовите на светот, е Песната и Словото.

Кога ја знаеме Песната, го знаеме Словото.

Тоа е интимна, лична врска што ја имаме со нашиот Господ и Спасител.

Не дозволувајте никого да ви каже поинаку.

Arabic:

"الرب هو قوتي و سونغ ،

وأصبح خلاصي:

هو إلهي ، وسوف أفعل

الاستعداد له مسكن:

إله أبي ، وأنا سأرفعه.

يوحنا 1: 1 و 12 و 14

1. في البداية كان الكلمة ، والكلمة كان عند الله ، والكلمة كانت الله.

12 وَأَمَّا كَمَا كَانَ يَقْبَلُهُ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُلْطَانًا لِكَيْ يَكُونَ بَنُوَا اللهِ ، حَتَّى أَنْ يَثْقُونَ بِاسْمِه

14 وَكَانَتِ الْكَلِمَةُ جَسَدًا وَسَكَنَتْ بَيْنَا ، وَنَظَرْنَا بِمَجْدِهِ الْمَجْدَ كَمَا بَنِي الْوَّلَدِ الْمَوْلُوْنِ وَالْحَقِّ.

يسوع المسيح ، ابن الله الوحيد ، حمل الله الذي يأخذ ذنوب العالم هو الأغنية والكلمة.

عندما نعرف الأغنية ، نحن نعرف الكلمة. إنها علاقة حميمة وشخصية لدينا مع ربنا ومخلصنا.

لا تدع أي شخص يقول لك مختلف ، إما.

PSALM 63:1 - 5

O GOD YOU ARE MY GOD

EARLY WILL I SEEK YOU

MY SOUL THIRSTS FOR YOU

MY FLESH LONGS FOR YOU

IN A DRY AND THIRSTY LAND

WHERE THERE IS NO WATER

TO SEE YOUR POWER AND YOUR GLORY

SO AS I HAVE SEEN YOU

IN THE SANCTUARY

YOUR LOVINGKINDNESS

IS BETTER THAN LIFE

AND I WILL PRAISE YOU

I WILL BLESS YOU

WHILE I LIVE

I WILL LIFT UP MY HANDS

IN YOUR NAME

MY SOUL IS SATISFIED

AS WITH MARROW AND FATNESS

MY MOUTH PRAISES YOU

WITH JOYFUL LIPS

So, are you satisfied with God? Good. Is God satisfied with you? 

The Healing Song-TeHillah

     This song I wrote this morning, when The Lord Our God woke me up and brought me outside. At first I thought it was just for my healing, but I know people who go through different challenges than I do.
      My friend Kaley is 5 years old and is Type 1 Diabetes. She was given the phrase "I am healed from the top of my head to the sole of my feet", perhaps when she heard another say it; but she claimed it for herself. I have several friends who suffer from either Type 1 or Typ2 Diabetes. Friends of mine have gone, are going or will go through some form of chemo after being diagnosed with various cancers. Some friends received their perfect healing when they saw Jesus as they lay dying. Some of my friend have OA, Fm, Alopecia, CRPS, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Autism. Sometimes an illness can be undiagnosed for years before the knowledge to recognize it and begin to cure it is given to us.
     Some of us hike up hills and cross valleys; some hike mountains and dive off cliffs. Some paddle rapids and some doggie-paddle, just barely keeping their heads above water. Some paths are narrower in places, some paths are footbeaten, where others have walked before. As the man at Solomon's Porch said, in John 5:1-18 "Every time the angel troubles the water, someone gets there before I do." But The Healer was speaking with this man. And The Healer healed him. His path intersected with Jesus' path; his life was changed forever. God is God and though He Himself does not change, He is One Who changes everything. Come. Come near the water and meet The Healer.

THE HEALING SONG

TeHillah



I am healed          in Jesus' Name

I am healed         from my pain

From the top of my head

to the sole of my feet

I am healed, I am healed

In Jesus' Name.

In my mind         in my heart

God is working         on every part

I can see         I can run

I am here         in Jesus' Name.

From the top of my head

to the sole of my feet

I am healed, I am healed

In Jesus' Name.

I am healed         in Jesus' Name

I am healed         from my pain

No more needles        no more pricks

No more diabetes          I'm not sick

From the top of my head

to the sole of my feet

I am healed, I am healed

In Jesus' Name!

In my mind         in my heart

God is working         on every part

From the top of my head

to the soles of my feet

I am healed, I am healed

In Jesus' Name!

All my praise          For His glory

Sings my heart         a brand new song

I can fly         I can dance

So fast I spin          with open hands

In my heart there lives a Man

His Name is Jesus. Jesus Christ.

I am healed, I am healed

In Jesus' Name--

In Jesus' Name is all power!

In Jesus' Name is all time

A thousand years is but a day

And from the grave I've been raised

I am healed in Jesus' Name

I am healed from my pain

No more sorrow          no more tears

 Nor more pleading nights          no fears

All my loved ones, my enemies, too

 Have been healed, Through and through

Inside out, no more upside down

A new heart          A new life

They see Jesus        in a New Light.

I am healed         in Jesus' Name!

I am healed          from my pain

From the top of my head

to the soles of my feet

I am healed! I am healed!

In Jesus' Name!

All my praise         for His glory

Sings my heart         a brand new song

I can fly        I can dance

So fast I twirl         with open hands

In my heart         there lives a Man-

His Name is Jesus, Jesus Christ.

Lord and Savior of my life!

He called my name          like none before

And I saw myself           laid on the floor

A tinkling bell          began to ring

And with surprise         I heard me sing:

All Hail The King

The King of Kings

Hail King Jesus

Of You I sing

Though You slay me,

I am Yours

You choose to heal me

O My Lord

For this I sing:

You are my Praise!

I am healed, I am healed

In Jesus' Name!

From the top of my head

to the sole of my feet

I am healed         I am healed

In Jesus Name

IAM HAS HEALED ME IN HIS NAME!



Wrapped

This ballad of worship and love for The Lord Our God came to me in the wee hours of the morning today, somewhere between 2 and 3:30 AM, after which my body melted into my bed and I could not have moved unless the earth had moved me first.

WRAPPED

1) I have joy in my journey

I have strength because of You

I have peace passing understanding

Cause I have Jesus here with me

-chorus-

I never saw the rain

Never heard the storm

Till I saw The Son

When I felt the warmth

Never saw the clouds

Congregate above

Till I found myself

Wrapped in arms of love

2) There's so much to see

When our eyes are opened

To The Holy Spirit

Who aligns our hearts with God.

-chorus-

I never saw the rain

Never heard the storm

Till I saw The Son

When I felt the warmth

Never saw the clouds

Congregate above

Till I found myself

Wrapped in arms of love

3) Through the power of You, Spirit,

I have come to understand

That a life without You in it,

Is a life of much demand.

-chorus-

I never saw the rain

Never heard the storm

Till I saw The Son

When my face was warm

Neve saw the clouds

Congregate above

Till I found my self

Wrapped in arms of love

1st Bridge

Having seen The Light

I can see the dark

Having gained the courage

I can build the ark

For my family

To enter in and rest

From the fire of wrath

That is sure to come

When our Lord has taken

All His family home.

-2nd chorus-

I never heard the rain

Never saw the storm

Never saw the clouds

Congregate my harm

Heard the warning cries

Saw the church arise

 

Out of the dark She came

To set the captives free

To bind the brokenhearted

Cause the blind to see

To open up the prison doors

And let The Light shine in

To preach good tidings to the meek

To declare The Lord's return

To appoint Zion's mourners

In the City of their God

Giving gifts which Christ had giv'n her

For just such this cause:

Beauty instead of ashes

Joyous Oil instead of grief

To take away their heavy hearts

And replace them with clothes of praise

She gives Her Lord and Savior

Glory by Her actions

Glory by Her Love

Glory by Her boldness and

He is glorified above

and She sings

I am wrapped in arms of glory

I'm a Church whose God is great!

I'm the one He came to rescue

From the mire and the grave

I'm the one He calls to gently

In the garden where I pray

I'm the one He holds close to Him

When He wipes my tears away

I'm the one He bends an ear to

When I whisper words of Love

I'm a Church whose Cornerstone

Is Chiefest of all

He's the One that was rejected

Giving self for us all!

Wrapped in His Love

I am wrapped in His Love

Sweet Holy Spirit

You have wrapped me in His Love

Sweet Holy Spirit

You have wrapped me in

His

      Love



The Lighthouse

  

title: The Ocean Isn't Strong Enough for This Lighthouse

 I have been listening to some southern gospel songs this afternoon and I found one I really like. So, I looked up it's history and fell in love with God all over again. That happens you know. 
     I love lighthouses, too. I have a bit of a collection and they all have their history, too.  But right now, I just want to share this song The Lighthouse with you. I bet you fall in love with God, too.

     While the lyrics can be found on the second link, I just wanted to share them here, too. That way, you all can sing along with the group. 

Lyrics to “The Lighthouse”

By Ronnie Hinson

1.There's a Lighthouse on the hillside
that overlooks life's sea.
When I'm tossed it sends out a light
that I might see.
And the light that shines in the darkness,
now will safely lead us o'er.
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
that ship would be no more.

Chorus:

And I thank God for the Lighthouse,
I owe my life to Him,
For Jesus is the Lighthouse,
and from the rocks of sin
He has shone a light around me
that I can clearly see,
If it wasn't for the Lighthouse
where would this ship be?

2. Everybody that lives around me says,
tear that lighthouse down,
The big ships don't sail this way anymore,
there's no use of it standing 'round.
Then my mind goes back to that stormy night,
when just in time I saw the light,
Yes, the light from that old lighthouse,
that stands up there on the hill.

Chorus (x2):
And I thank God for the Lighthouse,
I owe my life to Him,
For Jesus is the Lighthouse,
and from the rocks of sin
He has shone a light around me
that I can clearly see,
If it wasn't for the Lighthouse
where would this ship be?

And I thank God for the Lighthouse,
I owe my life to Him,
For Jesus is the Lighthouse,
and from the rocks of sin
He has shone a light around me
that I can clearly see,
If it wasn't for the Lighthouse
where would this ship be?
