RE:ply
Lord, you should be praised. You are worthy of praise. You are a holy God, and you are also a God who is willing to show mercy and grace—quick to forgive me, desiring to redeem me, promising to renew me.
Lord, you are true, just, righteous in all of your works.
Lord, you have given us your special revelation, your very thoughts, your heart, to read and meditate on. I see your holiness, your patience, your love, your great calling for your people.
Lord, You love us deeper than we could ever love you. We cannot comprehend your great love, help us to understand your power to see your promises fulfilled for us. Show me who I really am, according to your eyes
Lord, I am only here for 70 years or so. With you is eternal life, with you is eternal love. I wish to follow you, my soul desires to make you happy, be near to me.
Lord, in heaven, you are to be worshiped by angels, by all your created works, by mankind, and by my heart as well. I worship and praise you today.

“He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!” Psalm 40:3-4
