Shout to the LORD

Make a joyful shout
To the LORD, all the lands!
Serve the LORD, with gladness
Sing before Him, clap hands.

God allows what He hates
To achieve what He loves
He permits man to sink
That men seek Him above.

Thro’ His Spirit, God gives
In His people, are sown
Differing talents and gifts
That His glory, be known.

So be not downcast
Our heavenly Father above
Ever faithfully outpours
His unchanging love.

Lord, I enter Your gates
And come into Your courts
With thanksgiving and praise
To worship You, I have sought.

Who can compare
With our God above?
Jesus’ glory and beauty
Such unspeakable love.

O, such undeserved favor
Overflowing from heaven
Such love for lost sinners
To cleanse out, our old leaven.

God is pleased by our faith
As we trust, and obey
So, fear not, stay faithful
Follow His will and way.

We scarcely take in
The edge of His ways
The infinite One
Ancient Ruler of Days.

You can end up as bitter
Even doubt God is there
…Or choose to trust Him
That God knows, and He cares.
