Heart of the Artist

I worship you, Lord, for you are a God who shines forth, comes near, and speaks to us (Psalm 50:2-3).

I worship you, O Mighty One, God the Lord, for you speak and summon the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting (Psalm 50:1).

I come into your presence, O Lord, with thanksgiving, eager to make a joyful noise to the rock of my salvation and sing your praises. You are a great God and a great King above all gods. You hold in your hand the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains. The sea is yours for you made it and your hands formed the dry land. I bow down and kneel in worship before the Lord, my God, my Maker. Indeed, you are our God and we are the people of your pasture. I belong to you and you belong to me. I have been justified by faith—I have peace with God and access to the gift of grace through my Lord Jesus Christ. So I rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. For your great love has been poured into my heart through your Holy Spirit. You demonstrated your great love for me in that while I was still a sinner, Christ died for me. So I rejoice in God through my Lord Jesus Christ, through whom I have received this wonderful gift of reconciliation (Psalm 95:1-7; Romans 5:1-2, 5, 8, 11).

I praise you, O God, for you have ransomed my life from the pit and redeemed me for yourself (Psalm 49:15).

I worship you, Lord, for you are my God forever and ever. I look to you as the one true guide for my life (Psalm 48:14).

I worship you, Lord. Your name and your praise reach to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with righteousness (Psalm 48:10).  

Lord, when I think about your steadfast love for me—try to grasp the depth of it—how can I not worship you for the faithfulness of your great love? (Psalm 48:9).

Great are you, Lord, and greatly to be praised! (Psalm 48:1).

Lord, I worship you for you sit highly exalted on your holy throne and reign over all the nations (Psalm 47:8-9).

When I lift up my eyes to the hills and wonder where my help comes from, I know very well that my help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth. I worship you, O Lord, for you are my keeper (Psalm 121:1-2, 5).
