Psalm 97: Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Rejoice! The Lord is King!
Lift up your heart,
lift up your voice; rejoice;
again I say, rejoice.
Power! All the forces in the planet
are powered by the Lord.
Love! All the love in the universe
flows from the Lord.
Joy! All the happiness in the world
is given by the Lord.
Thanks! All our thanks we give back to you.
(I grew up a Methodist, with the hymns of Charles Wesley. In his hundreds of hymns he did the same thing I’m doing – but way better, obviously - reading Psalms with Jesus in mind and giving them a fresh voice for everyday life.
Listen to good recordings and teach your kids these magnificent hymns.)
