Thrilled to announce that the revised, updated version of my first book The Heart of the Artist goes on sale today. I rewrote the whole thing and added new content, so even if you have the old version, I strongly recommend getting the new one. It’s better!

Lord, I can’t keep quiet about your glad news of deliverance. I worship you, my God and Father, who through Jesus Christ gave yourself for my sins to deliver me from this present evil age. To you be the glory forever and ever(Psalm 40:9-10; Galatians 1:3-5).

I worship you, O Lord my God, for you have multiplied your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us. You have poured out blessing upon blessing into my life. Blessed are you, God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed me in Christ as far as the heavens with every spiritual blessing (Psalm 40:5; Ephesians 1:3). 

I worship you, O God, for your steadfast love and mercy have been from of old. I worship you, O Christ, who suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, who has gone into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of the Father, with all things now in subjection to you (Psalm 25:6; 1 Peter 3:18, 22).

I worship you, Lord, for my hope is in you. I put my hope in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ (Psalm 39:7; Matthew 12:21).

I thank you, Lord Jesus, that you do not forsake your own, that you will never leave me, and that you have promised to always be with me (Psalm 37:28; Matthew 28:20).

I worship you, Lord, for your righteousness is like the mountains—immovable and unchanging. Your judgments are like the great deep—they carry depth, truth, and wisdom. You are indeed just in your judgments, Most Holy One (Psalm 36:6; Revelation 16:5).

I worship you, O God of my salvation, and sing aloud of your righteousness. I worship you, O Christ, whom God put forth as the propitiation for my sins to show God’s righteousness (Psalm 51:14; Romans 3:24-25).

I worship you, O Lord, for your steadfast love extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. How extravagant is your love! How wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ! How precious is your steadfast love, O God! (Psalm 36:5,7; Ephesians 3:18-19).

Great are you, Lord. I’m thankful that you care about my welfare. You’re the God who faithfully feeds the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field. You’re the God who watches out for your own. I could go on and on—all day long—about your great righteousness (Psalm 35:27-28; Matthew 6:25-30).
