Blessed are You, O Lord, the God of our fathers,
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever;
and blessed is Your holy and glorious name,
praiseworthy and exalted above all for all ages.
(Daniel 3:52)
The act of praising God is also an act of gratitude. The repeated phrase “Blessed are you” is a form of praise, and the descriptions that follow are forms of worship that acknowledge God’s greatness. The repeated phrase “praiseworthy and exalted above all forever” underscores the eternal nature of God who is everlasting, without beginning or end. God’s presence is everywhere. Let us be thankful for God’s blessings and His presence in our lives. These lessons remind us to maintain a heart of worship, recognize God’s omnipresence, understand His eternality, submit to His sovereignty, and express gratitude in our daily lives.
"Blessed are You," we sing and shout,
In praise and worship, without a doubt.
An act of gratitude, a heart's outpour,
To the One who's worthy of so much more.
"Blessed are You," a phrase so dear,
Echoes in the heavens, far and near.
Acknowledging greatness, a divine nod,
To the eternal, everlasting God.
"Praiseworthy and exalted above all forever,"
A truth we hold, that wavers never.
God's presence is everywhere, in all we see,
In every moment, in every glee.
Thankful we are for blessings received,
For His presence in lives intricately weaved.
Lessons learned, wisdom embraced,
In our daily lives, they're interlaced.
Maintain a heart of worship, let it be your song,
Recognize His omnipresence, all day long.
Understand His eternality, His time knows no end,
Submit to His sovereignty, on Him you can depend.
Express gratitude in life, in big and small,
For He is the One who orchestrates it all.
"Blessed are You," we'll continue to say,
Today, tomorrow, every single day.
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude, praising You, saying "Blessed are You," in multitude. Your greatness we acknowledge, Your love we embrace, in every corner of our lives, we see Your grace.
"Praiseworthy and exalted above all forever," we proclaim, Your eternal nature, Your everlasting fame. You are the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, in every moment, on You, we depend.
Your presence is everywhere, in every space, In every challenge, in every grace. We are thankful for Your blessings, for Your love so divine,
For Your presence in our lives, for Your design.
Help us maintain a heart of worship, pure and true, recognize Your omnipresence, in everything we do. Help us understand Your eternality, Your time without end, and submit to Your sovereignty, on You, we depend. Teach us to express gratitude, in our daily lives, in our joys and in our strife. These lessons we carry in our hearts, as we journey on, with You by our side, from dusk till dawn.
In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
