Praise Song to the God of Heaven & the cosmos

Praise to our Lord, the God of heaven and God of the Cosmos.

Praise him for the creation of matter and life.

Praise him for the gifts of light and darkness enabling us to see the wonders of daytime and the marvels of the night.

Praise him for the multiplicity of sounds, which both delight and jar on the ear.

Praise him for perfumes and aromas that are delicate and evocative and those which warn of the distasteful and the dangerous.

Praise him for the wonders of touch; for sensations of smoothness, roughness, wetness, dryness, slipperiness, and of heat and cold.

Praise him for the marvel of taste: drawing delight, discerning the unpleasant; distinguishing sweetness, bitterness, saltiness and sourness.

Praise him for our evolution into creatures that have the ability to reason and the capacity for awe and wonder; the privilege of exploring the heights and depths of existence, the magnificence of the cosmos and the glory of God.

Praise the Lord.

Original Introduction: Recently in our Home Group we enjoyed looking closely at Psalm 150 - that great psalm of praise. As we talked, we recognised that giving praise can bring joy in its wake and that it might be good to think about how each of us might express our praise to our God in our own words.

That coincided for me, with thinking about how I might celebrate the 3rd anniversary of the start of this blog - and I rapidly realised I had been presented with a hugely appropriate theme. So I offer you this Praise Song
