Release our hearts to soar with freedom and to dance with praise...

Too much praise? Is it religious to declare so much adoration for "the LORD"?? This poet notices that all things praise Him and so must we. Is this a Psalm to read, a mere page to memorize and study? Or is this an invitation to FEEL the same deep praise!? OH how high, and wide, is HIS LOVE for us. How can we help but join the sea creatures, the sun and moon; and all the shining stars in praise? How can we help but love him in return? Thank you, most high LORD for giving us voices to praise you. Release our tounges and hands to freedom. Release our hearts to soar with freedom and to dance with praise for you everyday of our lives!! Too much praise? Is that even possible?

Psalm 148
1 Praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD from the heavens;
praise him in the heights above.
2 Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
3 Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars.
4 Praise him, you highest heavens
and you waters above the skies.

5 Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for at his command they were created,
6 and he established them for ever and ever—
he issued a decree that will never pass away.

7 Praise the LORD from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy winds that do his bidding,
9 you mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals and all cattle,
small creatures and flying birds,
11 kings of the earth and all nations,
you princes and all rulers on earth,
12 young men and women,
old men and children.

13 Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for his name alone is exalted;
his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
14 And he has raised up for his people a horn,
the praise of all his faithful servants,
of Israel, the people close to his heart.
