I Extol You, God (from Psalm 145)

The Lord is my God and my God is the King,
In His Kingdom, tender mercies, wondrous splendor and might.
The Word of His mouth is the work of His hand and
His feet lead the way to that Day fair and bright.

And I extol You, God!
I bless Your name forever!
And every day I will praise Your name,
For Your name is great and Your greatness I cannot search out…

But You open Your mouth and
Love comes out!
It comes out;
It pours forth;
It flows down and
It covers me; Your love covers me; Your blood covers me!

My King is of glory; His glory is high,
He’s my righteous redeemer and living grace.
Joyful His saints! Sing out aloud!
Let the praise on your lips kiss His glorious face.

And I extol you God!
I bless Your name forever!
And every day I will praise Your name,
For Your name is great and Your greatness I cannot search out…

And I extol You, I extol You, My God!
