A Song - Very High Praises to the Lord
Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Composer's Foreword
God desires our praises, yea high praises from us his children on earth for myriad of things he has done and been doing for us.
However, some people because of what they are passing through find it difficult to give praises to the Lord because their hearts become heavy of some things and situations they are passing through and or may have find themselves at that time.
Even at those positions the Lord says in the bible that we should give thanks to the Lord.
I have therefore come up with these wordings to show appreciation unto the Lord, trusting that the brethren would also find this work a blessing to them in Jesus name. Amen.
To enhance the learning of the song for anyone who wishes to sing the song, I have prerecorded the tune used on YouTube and shared the link here.
Thank you.
