SINGING HIS PRAISE
I know some people who are gifted when it comes to paying compliments or singing someone’s praise. I am NOT that person. I feel awkward and it just doesn’t come naturally to me. That is fine when it comes to people but that is not alright when it comes to the Lord. We are supposed to praise Him. The problem is that I just can’t seem to find the words and it doesn’t feel right. I say thank you to the Lord over and over again each day but that is not praise. I think it is very important to thank the Lord for His blessings. I think it is important to thank the Lord His grace and mercies. But, I also know that it is important to praise HIM. Every time that I try I just feel like I am just doing lip service and that is not at all what I want to do.
Isaiah 29:13
“These people come near to me with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
Their worship of me
is based on merely human rules they have been taught.
Ouch, that is like an arrow to my heart. So, I have been in search of a way to praise the Lord and I think I have finally found it. It is by singing His praise. I listen to Sirius radio and I usually keep it on a station called The Message. That is channel 63 if any of you are wondering. Anyway, yesterday I was singing along to the song by Christ Tomlin called Indescribable. Here are the lyrics:
Creation revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
I struggle the same way. I’m always afraid i come across as an “Eddie Haskel” (remember that character?). I listen to that same channel on Sirius. I love Chris Tomlin’s music and have seen him perform this very song. It fills my heart! I pray you are having a wonderful trip! My husband has made “President’s Club” in his field several times and the company often schedules a lot of events. Hopefully you get your beach time!
Enjoy your vacation, let our Saviours light shine thru you wherever you may go, may you be a testimony to who ever you encounter in Mexico, be safe, looking forward to your updates from Mexico, beautiful place.?
No importa cuanta palabrería bien dicha .
los pájaros dan honra a Dios así nosotros desde lo más profundo de un corazón muy agradecido le honramos de una forma sencilla con el simple hecho de mirarlo a El el recibe nuestra alabanza dice en su palabra que con la renovación de vuestro entendimiento así dice en romanos
12 versículo 2
It doesn’t matter what comes out of someone’s mouth God is looking at the intent of the heart from which your words are coming from if you had 10000 Tongues you steal could not praise him enough!!! Your in a good place continue to thank him and in your daily relationship you will see your development with him growth. GOD bless you!!!

I find the best source for praise is found in God’s Word. There are so many things in Psalms that we can just say back to Him…Scripture praying. Praying for a safe, relaxing trip.
I love that song!!! Such awesome words.
I love your statement “Either one is a blessing”. That is beautifully stated and is a message and food for thought for all of us. You are a blessing! Safe travel mercies are prayed for you and Joe. Enjoy your time together.
Thank you Tania. A great reminder to be appreciative for all He gives!
I love your Sunday posts, especially today’s. The Lord is so worthy of our praise. Prayers for a safe trip .
Thank you Tania,right on the mark with my heart as usual! Please share your trip with us, I’ve never been to Cancun, but would love to go!’
I love that song, too. Chris Tomlin has a beautiful voice. Safe travels & have a wonderful time!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful song. I talk and pray to the Lord everyday but a song is so uplifting to me. Praying for safe travels for you and Joe. Have a fun and relaxing time? God Bless
Prayers for safe travels and your time in Cancun. I must say that I love you attitude…”watch over us or welcome us home”. I’m going to remember that. Beautiful song.
Thank you Tania for that beautiful message, that’s a powerful song, at times when I am silent just listening to God’s words, I find myself praising Him without words, all I do is cry and thank Him for his Abundant love. I AM GRATEFUL, THANKFUL, BLESSED.
I’m like that too, Tania. I praise the Lord too but have trouble coming up with words on my own so songs help a lot. But I also believe that He knows our hearts and how we feel. I pray that you and Joe have a blessed and safe time in Cancun.
Praying for you and Joe to have a safe and fun time. Looking forward to seeing pictures. Have a wonderful time!!
Remember this always, The Lord knows your heart first… Continue to lift HIS NAME UP in Glory that only HE can give. Amen…
Bless you for sharing. The Lord knows your heart & your sweet spirit. Praying for a relaxing, memory making vacation.
Thank you. Another inspiring message.
Prayers for a safe trip to Cancun! Can’t wait to see your precious attire!
Your thoughts have been my thoughts as well this week. Thanks for sharing. #theheartofworship
I surround my ears with his radio on my way to and from work. I sing along and feel very near to God. I drive home late at night and it keeps me safe with no worries. Starts my day with positive thoughts not fears. I thank god we have the freedom to praise and worship as we want to daily. Thanks for reminding us he is with us always. I enjoy your post everyday.
I am right there with you Tania in not knowing WORDS to praise HIM. It’s the same way with praying…some people are so good at praying off the top of their heads and I am not one of them. I love the idea of “singing” praise !!!! Enjoy your trip to Cancun and prayers for safe travels.
Singing is a great form of praise! But sometimes if you just sit still, “the Spirit intervenes for us with words that cannot be spoken”. He knows your heart. Travel safely and have a wonderful time!
Wishing you a safe, funfilled, relaxing vacation!
My radio stays on that station too. Love that song. HE is so worthy.
Refreshing
May God hold you in the palms of his hands during your trip and all will be well. Have a wonderful time.
Thank you for sharing about praise. This has been on my heart this past week. To give God all Gliry and Praise, for His mercy and goodness is endless! I’ve been following you on Pinterest for a while now and foundbyou on Bloglovin. I’m so glad i found you her, i so needed this Word this morning
Thank you, Tania, for honestly sharing with us. Don’t you love that song!
