Song Lyrics: Written by Composer Lyricist Matt Redman in 1997
Take this Link to listen to the song Let Everything that has Breath Praise the Lord sung by Phillips, Craig and Dean. (YouTube) released in 2001
Praise You in the morning
Praise You in the evening
When I'm young and when I'm old
Praise You when I'm laughing
Praise You when I'm grieving
In every season of the soul
If we could see how much You're worth
Your power, Your might, Your endless love
Then surely we would never cease to praise You
Chorus: Let everything that
Everything that
Let everything that has breath
praise the Lord
Let everything that
Everything that
Let everything that has breath
praise the Lord
Praise You in the heavens joining with the angels
Praising You forever and a day
Praising You on the earth
now joining with creation
Calling all the natons to Your praise
If they could see how much You're worth
Your power, Your might, Your endless love
Then surely they would never cease to praise You
Repeat Chorus Several Times …
Commentary: Let everything that has breath praise the Lord is the last verse of the last psalm of the Book of Psalms! It is a beautiful line that invites us to praise God with every breath we take, one of the reasons that breath prayer is such a fruitful spiritual practice! This week we’ve seen how praise is the faithful response to all of our wilderness wanderings and it's quite appropriate to end our week, singing with Psalm 150!
Matt Redman, an author and songwriter has written many songs wrote this song to remind us of the many reasons why, when and how the world, including each of us, should praise God!
Reflection: How do you praise God at all times of the day and in all seasons, especially during your wilderness wanderings?
Breath Prayer of the Day:
Breathing in … God of the Nations
Breathing out … I praise you with every breath
