A Prayer of David


David was awesome at praising God.    I love reading his praises in the book of Psalms.  And I love listening to songs written by David, like the one below.  My favorite way of praising God is through song;  I love singing and listening to songs based on scripture.  I find I can memorize scripture more quickly through singing.

This song was on the Radiance Album by Acapella, originally released in 2006.  Words and music by Keith Lancaster@2005 Anthony K Music (ASCAP)



Scripture reference:  I Chronicles 29:10-13
"David praised the LORD in the presence of the whole assembly, saying, 'Praise be to you, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.

Yours, O LORD is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is your.  Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.

Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things.  In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all.

Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name."

Lyrics:
Praise be to you, O Lord
God of our father Israel
From everlasting to everlasting
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness (is the greatness)
And the power (and the power)
And the glory (and the glory)
And the majesty
And the splendor (splendor)
For everything in heaven and earth is Yours
Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom (is the Kingdom)
You are exalted as head over all
Wealth and honor come from You
You are the ruler of all things
In Your hands are strength and power
To exalt and give strength to all
Now, our God, we give You thanks
And praise Your glorious name.
