Continual Praise

"So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name." Hebrews 13:12-15

Indeed, let us praise and worship our God out of thankfulness for the ultimate sacrifice. How grateful I am that this need not be my lasting home, but I shall spend eternity in a holy, sinless place. Eternity truly will not be long enough to thank him and praise him for his glorious grace! Enjoy this, one of my favorite hymns. Happy Sabbath!

"Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring form above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with his goodness, lost in His love."
-Blessed Assurance, Frances Crosby
