I Love the Lord

I woke up with this song on my heart.  Even if it is the middle of the night, if the Lord wakes you with His praises on your lips, then praise Him.  He is worthy.  He is faithful.  He hears your cries.

Psalm 116

I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

    1. It is the Omega Church & Ministries Center's Praise & Worship team. They are not recording artists in terms of buying it somewhere. You may be able to download it from Youtube though.

    1. Yes, I agree. In fact, I woke up at about 1:00 am with this exact version of the song in my heart. So I got up and tried to find this song on Youtube to post. But, I could not find it. I really became frustrated because I just felt led to post the song, so I searched in my iTunes account and there I found not only the song, but the exact version which had awoken me. So I created a video of it and posted.

      I often feel like our Praise & Worship team's songs are better than the professionally recorded songs. We are blessed to have team members who truly desire the Lord in the inward parts, and that allows the beauty of His Holy Spirit to really shine forth in song. Singing does involve talent, but above all it is ministry.

      I thank God for allowing me to find this song and make it available here. God Bless!
