Seize the Moment – Day 921

Today’s modern day hymn focus will be

Great is the Lord

 

Psalm 145:3-4 (NASB95)             

 

 Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised,
And His greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise Your works to another,

And shall declare Your mighty acts.”

 

In 1982, Michael W. Smith and his wife Debbie were active members of a church in Nashville TN where he also led worship. During that season of their lives, they would often sit together at night, open up the scriptures and allow God to inspire their hearts. One night, God took them to the above passage. While she wrote a few lines, he played the melody, and they saw them come together practically at the same time.

 

The next Sunday, he taught the song to the congregation of Belmont Church, and they were greatly moved to a spirit of worship, lifting their voices in praise as they sang this song.

 

            Great is the Lord, He is holy and just, by His power we trust in His love

            Great is the Lord, He is faithful and true, by His mercy He proves He is love

 

We need to wake up and each and every day declaring the words of this song, for He is glorious and great and worthy to be praised.
