lyrics
Everybody praise the Lord
Every nation applaus his name
For great is his love toward us
the faithfulness of the lord endures
the faithfulness of the lord endures forever
We stand to praise you lord
Be at rest once more my soul for the lord has beeen good to you
Be at rest once more oh my soul |
song journal
The shortest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 117, and it has a simple message. Everybody in every nation should be praising the Lord because His love is great and His faithfulmess lasts forever. In today's vernacular, that sounds like a reason for a standing ovation! I saw a video of a band playing in the middle of a soccer field with an energy that I wanted to capture in this song. We scream and chant repeatedly in praise of our favorite teams at sporting events. Are we not willing to do the same thing for the King of the Universe?
