This is post 1,000 on this blog which started on March 5, 2016. That was 5 days before I was diagnosed with cancer. Only God knew He was going to give me this many poems and songs in the next two years. Only God knew the words He would have me write. Only God knew who would read.
I want to thank all of you for your encouragement, comments, likes and just for reading. This community has held me up all the way through this battle with Multiple Myeloma. I am in he waning stages – 6 months of maintenance chemo to go, 9 months in remission. It is your prayers that have made that happen – God has heard you.
Since this is post #1,000, thought I’d repost the very first one that came onto this blog. No followers, no likes, no one read this at that time. Enjoy – and thank you again!
It’s time to lift Him up
It’s time to praise His name
It’s time to put aside our petty thoughts
And lift our voice in praise
It’s time it worship Him
It’s time to raise our voice
It’s time to stop all our complaining
And start to shout “Rejoice”
For He is worthy, worthy, worthy of our praise
He is holy, holy, holy is His name
Our task is very clear
To Him we lend our ear
He calls us into His courts to sing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah to the Lord
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah to the Lord
Lift Him up, Lift Him up
Come and praise His name
Lift Him up, Lift Him up
Name above all names
Lift Him up, Lift Him up
So that all may know
Lift Him up, Lift Him up
How He loves them so
For He is worthy, worthy, worthy of our praise
He is holy, holy, holy is His name
Our task is very clear
To Him we lend our ear
He calls us into His courts to sing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah to the Lord
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah to the Lord
We’re all in your corner Pete, may God continue to be glorified through your writing, and may He keep you at work for many thousands more!
