Praise Our Lord!

I enjoy writing to the tune of familiar songs and hymns Christians have sung for many years.  I find that putting new lyrics to old tunes often serves to refresh one's worship and is helpful in aiding a person to concentrate on the message of the song.  If you're able, sing this poem to the tune of "Jesus Saves."  Either way, enjoy.

Let His grace your heart rejoice: Praise our Lord!  Praise our Lord!
Daily making Him your choice: Praise our Lord!  Praise our Lord!
Withhold not a joyful cry, claim the peace His love affords;
with a gleam within your eye: Praise our Lord!  Praise our Lord!

Let thanksgiving grow each day: Praise our Lord!  Praise our Lord!
Renewed courage come what may: Praise our Lord!  Praise our Lord!
Fearing not the tempter's snare, holding fast the Spirit's sword,
with a faith we long to share: Praise our Lord!  Praise our Lord!

As the battle rages on: Praise our Lord!  Praise our Lord!
Till the devil's strength is gone: Praise our Lord!  Praise our Lord!
Blessed saved one's gone before, resting with Him they adore, 
they with smiles stand at the door: Praise our Lord!  Praise our Lord!
