Seize the Moment – Day 1474

Today’s worship song focus :

House of the Lord

Psalm 122:1 (NASB95)     

 

“ I was glad when they said to me,

“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
 

Written in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, Phil Wickham created this powerful song of worship as an anthem for all believers. Wanting to connect the church to the heart of God with the invitation to experience his love and grace, Phil composed the beautiful lyrics, moving melody and powerful instrumentals to remind the church that it is more than just a physical building. It is to be a place where we gather to worship, be encouraged, and experience the presence of God.

 

There’s joy in the house of the Lord,

There’s joy in the house of the Lord today       

And we won’t be quiet, We shout out Your praise.                                               

There’s joy in the house of the Lord,

Our God is surely in this place                

And we won’t be quiet,

We shout out Your praise.

 

We need to wake up and prepare our hearts for worship as we gather together tomorrow to celebrate Easter Sunday! We need to join our voices with other believers in declaring “He is Risen! He is risen indeed!” So shout out your praise!
