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). ...

Giving Thanks in Everything

Sometimes life feels like it’s falling apart — plans fail, losses come unexpectedly, and hope seems distant. Think of a time when things weren’t going the way you wanted; with all the emotions rushing through your mind, gratitude was probably the last thing you wanted to express. Yet, this is exactly where true thanksgiving begins — not when life is perfect, but when we trust that God is still good, even when things don’t seem that way. God’s Word encourages us to give thanks in all circumstances because He cares deeply for us, and His thoughts toward us are always good (Jeremiah 29:11). Even when things seem unclear, His plans are still for our peace and not for our destruction. Sometimes, we need to pause and look back at our lives to see the countless blessings we’ve overlooked. The psalmist reminds us to remember the deeds of the Lord and meditate on His works (Psalm 77:11–12). As we walk through tough seasons, it’s important to shift our focus away from negativity and toward the...

When obedience seems hard

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were in Abraham’s position? God asked him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac — the son he had waited for all his life. Imagine the thoughts that must have run through his mind as he walked toward that mountain, carrying wood and fire but no explanation. Yet, Abraham obeyed. He trusted that even in this impossible command, God had a purpose. His faith reminds us that true obedience sometimes means surrendering what we value most. Sometimes, God asks us to let go of something dear — a dream, a relationship, or even a habit — and our first instinct is to resist. We grumble, argue, or try to reason it out because obedience can feel costly. But obedience, even when hard, is proof of our trust in God. Jesus Himself obeyed the Father even unto death (Philippians 2:8), and that obedience brought salvation to the whole world. The Bible makes it clear that disobedience leads to pain and loss. Saul lost his throne because he disobeyed God’s instr...
