Doxology

Thanks to Heather (from Simple and Deliberate) for this wonderful post:

(note: I have edited the personal notes in her post out - to read them click above)

Praise God from whom all blessings flow

Praise Him all creators here below

Praise Him above, ye heavenly hosts

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

The words are so moving when you reflect on them more deeply.

Praise God from WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW

All blessings come from the hand of God and because of this He deserves our praise.

Praise Him ALL CREATURES here below

Now, here is the beautiful part....

we, the Church, are calling on all the creatures that God created and placed on this earth

to praise Him.

Praise Him ABOVE ye HEAVENLY HOSTS

And this? Oh, the beauty of this phrase. Now, we, the Church, are calling on the heavenly hosts to praise their Creator.

What I love about the above is the thought that all those of the Church that have gone before us are praising God with us.

Praising their King.

The One who conquered death!

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

The Trinity...after spending a few long minutes talking to a Jehovah's Witness the other day, I find this portion of our beliefs to be so important...so foundational to our theology.

Praise Three in One!

Sing it loud, sing it often.

Repeat.
