To praise You forever...

A musician's random musings upon some weighty reflections. Sometimes, we're apt to burst.


To praise You forever
A weight to bear;
To sing Your affections
A tension, divided.
In fading fervor,
And straying fancies,
Still, this ache,
Remains.

Eternity's light
Is as a devouring flame,
An ever abounding work,
To place Thy Spirit
At the root
Of every pursuit.

Love is not to burn,
Though, in heat it delights.
No, love prospers in
Submission.
It deepens in
The silence.
It matures in
Affliction.

To praise You forever
Fruit of broken ground;
To sing Your affections
From refined devotion.
In the quiet,
Through the waves,
Now, Thy love,
Ever-present, upheld,
Flourishes within my heart.

By, yours truly, Spring 2011.


I will bless the LORD at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth. ~ Psalm 34:1

By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. ~ Psalm 42:8

Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever. ~ Psalm 145:2

I will praise the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. ~ Psalm 146:2
