Hymns of Praise

Read: Psalm 150

Hello Friend!

It’s always a good time when we get to sing hymns in Church. It’s not just about the melodies and instruments, hymns hit differently! The lyrics are often so deep and if you take some time to pay attention to those lyrics, you will see the powerful messages in them.


Today, we will be looking at a verse each from 5 different hymns about thanksgiving to God. Pay attention to the deep meaning in those verses; and use the melodious tunes with the lyrics to worship God for how far He has brought you this year. Cheers to a week of favour and good news!


Now thank we all our God

Now thank we all our God

with heart and hands and voices,

who wondrous things has done,

in whom his world rejoices;

who from our mothers' arms

has blessed us on our way

with countless gifts of love,

and still is ours today.


Praise my soul, the King of heaven 

Praise Him for his grace and favour

to his people in distress.

Praise him, still the same as ever,

slow to chide, and swift to bless.

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Glorious in his faithfulness!


To God be the glory

To God be the glory, great things he has done!
So loved he the world that he gave us his Son,
who yielded his life an atonement for sin,
and opened the life gate that all may go in.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, 
Let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! 
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
and give him the glory, great things he has done!


Oh Worship the King

Oh worship the King, all glorious above

Oh gratefully sing HIs wonderful love

Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days

Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.


Great is Thy faithfulness 

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;

there is no shadow of turning with Thee;

Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;

as Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be.

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see;

all I have needed Thy hand hath provided:

great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!


Keep in Mind 

“Wearing a long face shows you still have a long way to go, therefore, rejoice in the Lord, and again I say, rejoice!” - Bishop David Oyedepo 


Affirmation

I will always worship God and my life will always be a spectacle that shows forth His beauty.

What type of Christian are you?

Sister Rose was stopped at the gate of heaven, and confusion filled her face. “What is going on here?” she asked. “My name is Sister Rose Agatha, the General Choir Director of the Association of Christian Choristers in my country. What do you mean I’m not qualified to enter?” The angel looked at her calmly. “I’m sorry, ma, but the gate has been shut against you. Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). She felt offended. “Sir, with all due respect, you must be mistaking me for someone else. I served God all the years of my life on earth. Do you know how many choir groups I headed? How many crusades I was invited to? I was very popular.” “The Kingdom of God is not about popularity,” the angel replied. “What quality of service did you render to God? Was it for His glory or to please men? Remember, ‘For we must all stand before Christ to be judged… each of us will receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body’” (2 Corinthians 5:10). “An...

Drifting Away (Part 1)

Chidi was known as a devoted brother—quiet, disciplined, and deeply committed to God. He was one of those people whose life seemed to reflect his faith effortlessly. In his church, he served faithfully in the choir, never missing rehearsals, always present, always focused. People admired him, not just for his voice, but for his consistency. Outside church, Chidi worked as an operations assistant in a fast-growing fintech firm. He was diligent, respectful, and serious about his job. His life seemed steady—until things began to change. One morning, news spread across the office that their boss had resigned. A new manager was appointed—a confident, well-spoken woman. She was married, but from the moment she met Chidi, something about him caught her attention. At first, it was subtle. “Chidi, can you stay back for a few minutes after work? I’d like to go over something with you,” she said one evening. Chidi nodded politely. “Yes ma.” But the “work discussions” soon ...

The beauty of God’s mercy

  God’s mercy is  one of the most beautiful expressions of His love toward us. It is constant, undeserved, and always available—no matter our past or present. The Bible reminds us that “The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning” (Lamentations 3:22–23 NLT). Every new day is proof that God has not given up on us. His mercy is not limited or conditional. “The Lord is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love” (Psalm 103:8 NLT). Even when we fall short, He responds with patience and kindness rather than judgment. God’s mercy reaches into every area of our lives. “Let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most” (Hebrews 4:16 NLT). In our moments of weakness, confusion, or need, His mercy is always within reach. It is also through His mercy that we are saved and sust...
