1st Chronicles 16:29. “Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” GIVE UNTO THE LORD. What can I give to the Lord God of heaven; Who has created all things, maintains and controls them? As He keeps order in the heavens and knows every man – What possibly could I give unto Him that would honor His name?
I can give thanks for His mercy, His love and His grace, I can make known the greatness of His works to people in this place, I can sing hymns of praise for His Person and His Work, That will glorify and exalt Him before the people of earth.
I can talk of His works, of His strength and His power. I can tell of the blessings that on me He does shower. I can speak of His holy name when to others I talk. I can give Him reverence when in His light I do walk.
I can seek His face in prayer and express my appreciation For Him looking on me with grace and giving me salvation. I can review His covenant mercies when with others I meet, And we worship together like those who fell at His feet.
Every day I can show forth my gratitude for His great salvation, And declare His glories as I express my sincere adoration. My strength I can give to further the work of His kingdom – And with delight and respect along with others – fear before Him.
In holiness and gladness, we will join our voices as we praise To declare the honors and worth of Him who is the Ancient of Days. I can bring my offerings to Him from a grateful heart, So, I can bless and praise Him whose grace was shown at the start.
“Gracious Father, I feel very inadequate when it comes to giving Thee even the best I can. I am unworthy of the least of Thy mercies. In reading this psalm, I can identify
with those who praised Thee when the ark finally was properly placed in that tent. I praise Thee for all who praise and honor Thee and Thy name in this place. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
