In the midst of praying and contemplating on Psalms 147; which begins with the words, "Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting." And thus the following words ensued based on that Psalm. And, yes, there is music formulating in my mind, for this one.
How wonderful, How marvelous, is our eternal LORD.
He heals the broken hearted, and in Him they are restored.
He gives to them new names through His abundant mighty Power
He covers all the heavens and prepares for earth the shower.
He makes the grass to grow and gives to all the beasts their food,
And comforts all He has reclaimed and by His Spirit wooed.
He takes delight and pleasure in all those who fear His Name,
Who hope in His sure mercies, and His glories now proclaim.
Oh, Praise His Name Jerusalem, Oh Praise Your God O Zion.
The One Who Is The Lord of all, of Judah's tribe, the Lion.
For in Him is the blessing and the strength for all your children
And peace He gives to all who were before then, O so barren.
For now He fills with finest wheat, and sends out His command,
As all the elements are His and bow at His demand.
He sends His mighty Word and all before Him melts like snow,
His Spirit like the wind blows strong and makes the waters flow.
None other know the blessedness but those He chose to give
Salvation by the Word, His Son, by Jesus Christ, we live.
So come and sing His praises now, for pleasant now it is
And give to Him the glory due, for all of it is HIS!
