A Contemporary Hymn of Praise

A Contemporary Hymn of Praise

"Come, bless God, all you servants of God! You priests of God, posted to the night watch in God's shrine! Lift your praising hands to the Holy Place, and bless God. In turn, may God of Zion bless you -- God who made heaven and earth!" Psalm 134

I ran across this modern TE DEUM in a hymnal that I use with my devotional readings. It is a creed of praise to God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit -- the One we gather together to worship today in spirit and in truth! Rejoice and worship with me as you read these powerful words:

Your are God: We praise YOU;

You are the LORD: We acclaim YOU;
You are the eternal Father:
All creation worships YOU!

To You all angels, all powers of heaven,
Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,

heaven and earth are full of your glory.

The glorious company of apostles praise YOU.

The noble fellowship of prophets praise YOU.

The white-robed army of martyrs praise YOU.

Throughout the world the church proclaims YOU.

Father, of majesty unbounded,

Your true and only Son, worthy of all worship,

And the holy Spirit, advocate and guide.

You, Christ, are the king of glory,

eternal Son of the Father.

When You became man to set us free

You did not disdain the Virgin's womb.

You overcame the sting of death.

and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.

You are seated at God's right hand in glory.

We believe that You will come, and be our judge.

Come then, Lord, sustain Your people,

bought with the price of YOUR own blood,

and bring us with Your saints to everlasting glory.

Don't just stand there today as you worship and miss the One you are worshipping. FOCUS on who HE is and praise His Holy name. And just maybe, you might lift up those hands in worship. It is biblical! -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK

Dig This Quote: Be careful that you bring neither irreverence, nor deadness, nor cold, heartless worldly service before a holy God. Beware of hypocritical, carnal worship! The holy God will not be mocked with compliments and shows. – Richard Baxter

Good morning, brothers. I need your help. I have been putting a tag on Freedom Fighters concerning our Family Freedom Walk on Saturday, May 8th to raise money for the Colony of Mercy. Right now the women who read VICTORY CALL are miles ahead in their support of the walk. Only one Freedom Fighter brother has given a gift.

Can I count on you today to help us? If the Lord brings in $60,000, they plan to shave my head! Yikes. But it would be worth it to help my brothers in the Colony of Mercy. You can contact my Administrative Assistant, Ruth Schmidt (732-350-1187, ext. 22) to give over the phone, or you can use this link to give on line: Donate for Family Freedom Walk. Thanks for you consideration
