Blessed be the Lord,
who daily loadeth us with benefits,
even the God of our salvation. Selah.
{ Psalms 68:19 }
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and cometh down from the Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
{ James 1:17 }
The Lord gave these simple, precious words to me within this hour. How good He is! I was humming and singing 'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, and, as some other thoughts came together, this poem from my heart came into being. It can be sung appropriately to the tune of 'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, or even What a Friend We Have in Jesus.
Oh, I ought to praise the Savior,Dwell upon His boundless love,
Knowing ev'ry gift I'm given
Comes from God in Heav'n above.
- Praise the Lord! Oh, I must bless Him!
How He's blessed me o'er and o'er!
Glory to my precious Savior!
Oh, I ought to praise Him more!
Lift His glorious Name on high.
He is great, and loves so greatly;
Ev'ry need He doth supply.
Yes, I ought to praise the Savior;
Why be downcast when He's near?
His joy fills the heart with music,
His love dries up ev'ry tear.
Bless His Name! How rich the goodness
Which He daily loads on me!
May His praises e'er be ringing,
E'en throughout eternity.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
and why art thou disquieted within me?
hope thou in God:
for I shall yet praise him,
who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
{ Psalms 42:11 }
and why art thou disquieted within me?
hope thou in God:
for I shall yet praise him,
who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
