Praise You

"You are worthy, O Lord,
To receive glory and honor and power;
For You created all things,
And by Your will they exist and were created."
~ Revelation 4:11 (NKJV)


These are the words of praise heavenly saints offer to complement praise of angels.

Today, rather than my own words, I offer words sung by our church orchestra, accompanied by the dance of earthly saints.

(If you don't have time for the entire video and wish to see the dancers, we enter at about 2:00. Please excuse the mediocre recording quality.)

PRAISE YOU



Wisdom and majesty, power and glory be
Unto Your holy name now and forevermore.

O God Who spoke creation
Whose Word has formed all things
We praise You
O God Who reigns forever
Immortal King of kings
We praise You
You dwell in holy light
You rule with pow’r and might
Heaven and earth unite
To praise You

Before Your throne of glory
Angelic anthems soar
We praise You
This world of endless wonder
Stands to applaud and thunder
Praise You

O God we bow before You
And in Your awesome presence
Praise You
For You alone are worthy
Our hearts with fear and rev’rence
Praise You
O Sov’reign Lord You reign
The universe proclaims
The splendor of Your name
We praise You

With saints who’ve gone before us
Our spirits shout in chorus
Praise You
With highest adoration
This is our declaration
Praise You

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, almighty.
The whole earth is full of His glory.

Wisdom and majesty, power and glory be
Unto Your holy name now and forevermore.

Before Your throne of glory
Angelic anthems soar
We praise You
This world of endless wonder
Stands to applaud and thunder
Praise You

Wisdom and majesty, power and glory be
Unto Your holy name now and forevermore.

Before Your throne of glory
Angelic anthems soar
This world of endless wonder
Stands to applaud and thunder
Praise You!

  2. I watched the whole thing and LOVED it! Were you the second to the left in the line up? It was gorgeous! What a spectacular way to praise the Lord!

    The music, dancing and lyrics made it wonderfully clear the God who reigns over the universe is MAJESTIC! It blows my mind that all that majesty wants to dwell in mankind in the form of the Holy Spirit!

  4. clap,clap,clap,clap...clapping hands here for the dancers performing for Him!!! that was/is beautifully orchestrated!!!

    watched it a couple of times. one thing that struck me was when everyone was twirling in the white dresses/uniforms...(have no idea what you call'm)...was how white they were. then again, it was snow white saints dancing...because of the blood of the Lamb.

    thank you for sharing this, Anne:)

    Yes, I'm second from the left. My daughter is far left.

    Dance is quite the spectacular form of praise. I've asked to be on Heaven's dance team.

    And yes, I've never quite gotten over the concept of God living inside us. No wonder we can't help but praise Him!

    It was hard to get lost in the worship. Following choreography is far more difficult for this amateur than it looks.

    That'll be one more great part of Heaven—worshiping with abandon AND knowing it's perfect in praise and majesty.

    The dresses are specially designed, allowing us to twirl modestly. They have yards and yards of lightweight white fabric and feel as angelic as they look.

    Yes! "... snow white saints dancing...because of the blood of the Lamb ..." YES! :D :D :D
