NIV

Let’s just praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, let’s just lift our hearts to heaven and praise the Lord! God has blessed us beyond measure. He has lifted us from the pits of darkness and brought us up and into his wonderful light. Where would we be if God had not intervened in our life? What would our life been like if he had not made his face to shine upon us. God has been so gracious to us, he has made his way known to us, revealing his truth to us, showing us his salvation. Without God how would we have lived? Would we even still be alive? Let’s just praise the Lord! He has healed us and guided us through life. He picked up the fractured pieces of our life and made us whole. He has forgiven all our sin. He has cleanse us from all unrighteousness. He has declared us holy and blameless in his sight. Let’s just praise the Lord! Although we are not a land to yield a harvest, our life will yield a harvest because he has planted us in his vineyard. He is the vine and we are his branches, and as long as we remain in him we will yield much fruit, a harvest of fruit for others to enjoy. Let’s just praise the Lord! God has blessed us with life in him. We have both a great life in this world because we know him, and he knows us, and an even greater eternal life which began the day we were born again. How wonderful is the love of God, let’s just praise the Lord! We are blessed and someday the ends of the earth will fear him. Someday all the earth, all the peoples of the earth will stand before God, but only we will be the ones praising the Lord. They will be trembling in fear, we will be glad and rejoicing, so let’s just praise the Lord!
