Analysis of Praise Greatness
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I extol my God and King,
Bless His name forever;
Praising greatness as I sing,
Goodness, that will not sever.
Every day I will bless Him,
Forever praising His name;
Building my spiritual vim,
For all the times I proclaim.
Great is the Lord to be praised,
Greatness is unsearchable;
His creation I’m amazed,
All that He is capable.
One generation commends,
Another declares His acts;
To the faithful He defends,
From a problem that impacts.
Such a glorious splendor,
And a wondrous majesty;
As I fully surrender,
For He gives me amnesty.
I meditate as I speak,
Declaring His awesome deeds;
Continued greatness I seek,
As He has supplied my needs.
I shall pour forth of His fame,
His goodness and sing aloud;
His righteousness I proclaim,
Echoing unto His cloud.
