VOICE OF PRAISE

When my heart is given voice,
It sings a new song born from within
Wanting only to praise, worship and rejoice
For all that You, my Lord, have given

Praise the Lord all you His godly ones
For precious in His sight are you His saints
Let your heart shout for joy from the rising of the sun
     until the day is done
Eat your fill of His blessed manna to bring you strength
     and keep your heart from growing faint

Find the treasure of His blessed wisdom
When you invite Him in and with Him His Kingdom come
This Knowledge is truly too great to comprehend
Though His mystery tempered perfectly - as He is perfect -
     with utter trust His Spirit commends

As the King of kings is worshiped, honored, and adored
In return will His great love be upon you poured
Filling your heart and soul with great abandon
As He becomes your forever faithful Friend and Companion

So look to the Holy Mountain to see
That from there your help comes to set you free
Then, in your new-found freedom and abundant joy
Let your heart be given voice to raise
To the Lord your God a holy sacrifice of praise
