May The Peoples Praise You
Psalm 67:1-7
1 God be merciful unto us, and
bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
2 That thy way may be known
upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
3 Let the people praise thee,
O God; let all the people praise thee.
4 O let the nations be glad
and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the
nations upon earth. 5Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people
praise thee.
6 Then shall the earth yield
her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us; and all
the ends of the earth shall fear him.
We introduced a song couple
weeks ago called “May the Peoples Praise You” written by Keith and Kristyn
Getty, Staurt Townend, Ed Csh, and David Zimmer. I have learned to appreciate
songs that have been written by multiple writers. The depth of Biblically based
lyrical content combined with a singe-able and beautifully written melody shows
that the song has been labored over, prayed over, and written from the
perspective of multiple different sources. This song comes directly from Psalm
67 and gives the call to proclaim the name of the Lord because we have “been
called out of darkest night”. (Romans 3:23) The purpose of our redemption is to
make Christ known! What a challenge to make praise the name of the Lord and
work towards making His name known throughout all the earth!
Here is a link to the song so
you can continue to listen to it! I am looking forward to singing this song
with you again on Sunday!
