Praise His name

Isaiah 12:4 New Living Translation (NLT)

4 In that wonderful day you will sing:

    “Thank the Lord! Praise his name!

Tell the nations what he has done.

    Let them know how mighty he is!

The prophet Isaiah reminds Israel that there would come a time where the people would remember to praise and thank God for the things that had been done. It would be a time of true worship, praising His mighty name.

The praise chorus "We Exalt Thee" took on a whole new meaning when I heard my three-year-old daughter singing her version: "We exhaust thee. We exhaust thee, O Lord."

It’s true, we probably often exhaust God in the things we do and say. But our purpose is to fellowship with God and praise His name. Hence, the words of the song actually go as follows:

I love you Lord

And I lift my voice

To worship You

Oh, my soul rejoice

Take joy my King

In what You hear

And let it be a sweet sweet

Sound in Your ear

We exalt Thee

We exalt Thee

We exalt Thee

Oh, Lord
