Worship the Lord
with joyful songs of praise;
sing of his love,
his everlasting grace.
He is the Lord,
the maker of all things;
heaven adores
and all creation sings.

Holy, holy, holy
God almighty,
worthy of all praise.
Great in power
and endless glory:
worthy, worthy of all praise.

Look to the one
who leads us all our days;
trust in his love
and follow all his ways.
He is the Lord,
the maker of all things;
heaven adores
and all creation sings.

Gladly approach his gates,
enter his courts with praise.
We will rejoice
and bless his name.
He has been good to us
in mercy and faithfulness.
We will rejoice
and bless his name.

I came up with this chorus as a spontaneous song of praise while I was driving one afternoon, reflecting on the description of heaven's worship in Revelation 4.

I wanted to write verses that help prepare us for joining that scene, and after several different attempts decided to theme the rest of the song around one of Scripture's great calls to worship: Psalm 100.

I love the sense of dialogue in the finished song: connecting us back and forth with our heritage in the Psalms and with our destiny in Revelation.
