Perhaps my favorite hymn is one we sang this morning in worship:

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, Now to His temple, draw near;
Praise Him in glad adoration!

Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen How thy desires e’er have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen Sound from His people again:Gladly for aye we adore Him.

For the tune, played enthusiastically by Scott Hill (he wishes) click HERE.

As an aside – Pastor Stacy Johnson, who preaches in the AM services of our fellowship referenced this facinating link in his sermon this morning: www.deathclock.com. I’m not sure if the author of this site has access to the mind of God, but according to the deathclock, I’m due to reach glory on Friday, July 4, 2042. According to Pastory Stacy’s calculations, he’s planning to prepare my way three years earlier.

This evening I will be preaching on the Dangers of Complacent Worship, from Malachi 1:6-2:9.
