Make a Joyful Noise

SHOUT LOUD
Creation of the earth
stand and raise your voice
Shout loud to our God
In his name rejoice
Share with him the joy
he’s filled you with
Let it flow from your heart
like a lyrical gift
Our God is genuine
He’s living and true
Our blessed Creator
and Shepherd too
Come into his presence
in glad celebration
Learn and speak the language
of adoration
You cannot be too grateful
too generous with praise
For the Lord, our God is beautiful
wonderful are his ways
His love and his loyalty
will always endure
For all generations
forever more

(Psalm 100)


It took me a couple of years to get comfortable with praise in my daily interactions with God. So I started paraphrasing and rewriting the Psalms to get me going. A lot of people do this and for good reason, it really does help. I believe that because God loves us, our praise is his pleasure. So shout loud and make a joyful noise.
