PRAISE PRAYER & WORSHIP WEDNESDAY
This morning, I became aware that my spirit was singing a song. As the words bubbled up within my consciousness, I recognised it as the opening words of a hymn, one I had not sung for a very long time. I decided to look for the words and sing it during my devotional session. The song is Crown Him With Many Crowns and as I sang the words this morning, I became overcome with emotion.
Now, since this month’s Praise Prayer & Worship Wednesday post falls just before Easter, I decided to share two of the hymn’s verses below, as the praise element.
Praise
Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing,
Of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity.
[…]
Crown Him the Lord of years,
The Potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
Ineffably sublime!
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For Thou has died for me;
Thy praise shall never, never fail
Throughout eternity.
(Matthew Bridges & Godfrey Thring)
Prayer
Father God, what a privilege you have granted us to be able to come directly into the Holy of Holies, and fellowship with you. O Lord Jesus, thank you for making this possible. Thank you for inaugurating this new and life-giving way into God’s presence. We step boldly over the threshold of guilt and condemnation, into the welcoming atmosphere of acceptance, grace, and unconditional love.
Lord Jesus, as the Easter season approaches, we take time to consider your amazing act of love in laying down your life for us… in choosing to die an ignominious, shameful, and painful death, so we can be set free from the clutches of Satan, our Enemy. We can never, ever, thank you enough!
Father God, thank you for your ingenious plan of salvation. Lord Jesus, thank you for your commitment to God’s plan and purpose for your life. Thank you for allowing your body to be cruelly chastised and broken, and your blood to be so callously shed, so that we can be reconciled to God, so that we can escape the eternal damnation of our souls.
Holy Spirit, we ask that you stir up within our hearts an ever-increasing love for the Father, a dogged determination to honour Christ with our lives, and a supernatural joy that permeates our thoughts, attitudes, and behaviour as we seek to walk in harmony with those that are a part of our lives.
Amen.
Worship
Wishing all my readers and visitors a wonderful time of peace and joy over the coming Easter season.
With love,
