Thank You Lord For All You Done For Me

Psalm 100:4 (KJV)

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD

NOW IF YOU REALLY LOVE THE LORD

WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR AND JUST WAVE YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR

AND WAVE THEM LIKE YOU JUST DON`T CARE

AND LOOK TOWARD HEAV AND SAY

( THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL YOU DONE )FOR ME

IN THE YEAR 1990 THE LATE BISHOP WALTER LEE HAWKINS

TOOK A PEN AND PUT IT TO PAPER AND WROTE THESES

RIGHT NOW READY SPIRITUAL LYRICS

TRAGEDIES ARE COMMON PLACE

ALL KINDS OF DISEASES,

PEOPLE ARE SLIPPING AWAY

ECONOMIES DOWN,

PEOPLE CAN`T GET ENOUGH PAY

AS FOR ME ALL I CAN SAY IS

THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL YOU DONE FOR ME

(AND I WONDER IS THERE ANYBODY HERE TONIGHT

- GOT A THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL YOU DONE FOR ME TESTIMONY

BECAUSE THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS

THAT WHEN WE ALL LOOK BACK OVER THE TERRITORY OF OUR OWN STORY

AND REALIZE THAT IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE LORD ON OUR SIDE

WHERE WOULD WE BE

BECAUSE WHEN WE TAKE AND INVENTORY OF 2023

SOME OF US FOUND OURSELVES

JACK UP FINANCIALLY IN JANUARY

FRUSTATED IN FEBURARY

HAD TO DEAL WITH MESSY FOLKS IN MARCH

AGGRAVATED IN APRIL

HAD A RUN IN JUDGING AND JEALOUS FOLKS IN JUNE AND JULY

HAD AND ATTIDUDE IN AUGUST

DEALTH WITH SICKNESS IN SEPTEMBER

HAD OBSTACLES IN OCTOBER

HAD TO DEAL WITH NOSY FOLKS IN NOVEMBER

HAD SOME SOME DECISIONS TO MAKE IN DECEMBER

AND IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD

YOU OUGHT TO BE ON YOUR FEET RIGHT NOW GETTING YOUR PRAISE ON

BECAUSE IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD

YOU CAN`T THINK WITHOUT THANKING

BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK OF THE GOODNESS OF JESUS

AND ALL HE DONE FOR YOU IN 2023

AND ABOUT TO DO IN 2024

**************************

BUT AS I LISTEN TO THE WORDS OF THE SONG

PSALMS 100 CAME TO MIND

BECAUSE AS WE OPEN THIS TEXT UP FOR A MENTAL INVESTIGATION

AND HAVE A THEOLOGICAL DIALOGUE WITH DAVID

HE GIVES US

1- THE INVITATION TO PRAISE HIM

2- HOW WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM

3-WHY WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM

4- WHEN WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM

5- THE REASON FOR OUR PRAISE (1) *************************

NOTICE -NOTICE -NOTICE

THE INVITATION IN VERSE 1

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

(REPEAT 3 TIMES )

NOT THAT THE LORD NEEDS US BUT WE NEED THE LORD

BECAUSE THE LORD HAS DONE A FINISH WORK

THAT WE ALL SHOULD BE SHOUTING ABOUT

A WORK THAT JUSTFIES OUR SINS

AND SANTICFY OUR PRESENT

A WORK THAT GIVES US EXPIATION –

PROPITIANTION

AND SALVATION ALL WRAP UP IN ONE BALL

A WORK THAT GIVES US GRACE FOR OUR FAULTS

AND YOU DO KNOW

THAT WHENEVER YOU HAVE GRACE YOU GOT JOY

BECAUSE GRACE AND JOY OR TWO SIDES OF ONE COIN

BECAUSE WHEN YOU FIND A WHOLE LOT OF GRACE

YOU CAN`T HELP BUT FIND A WHOLE LOT OF JOY

THAT’S WHY I NEED TO ASK YOU

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME

YOU REALLY SURVEYED THE TERRIOTORY OF YOUR OWN STORY

AND THE TRASH CAN OF YOUR OWN MEMORY

AND TOOK A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE

AND REALIZED THAT YOU NEED THE LORD

(2)*****************************

BUT NOT ONLY DOES HE GIVES US THE INVITATION TO PRAISE

BUT HE ALSO TELLS US HOW WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM

2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

IN OTHER WORDS

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW THE LORD

HAS ANSWERED YOUR PRAYERS

LIFTED YOUR BURDENS

-AND THOSE HE DID`NT LIFT HE GAVE

YOU STRENGHT TO BEAR THEM

HOW THE LORD HAS LED YOU INTO

THE GREEN PASTURES OF PLENTY

AND WALK WITH YOU BESIDES THE STILL WATERS OF PEACE

PREPARED A TABLE FOR YOU

BEFORE YOUR HATERS

DRIED YOUR TEARS

MENDED YOUR BROKEN HEART

MADE AWAY OUT OF NO WAY

MADE YOUR ENEMIES YOUR

FOOTSTOOL

YOU OUGHT TO SERVE THE LORD WITH GLADNESS AND COME BEFORE HIS PRESENCE WITH SINGING

BECAUSE GOD GOT GREAT BENEFITS WHEN YOUR ON HIS PROGRAM

(3)******************************

WELL NOT ONLY DOES HE GIVES US THE INVITAION TO PRAISE HIM

AND HOW WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM

BUT IN VERSE 3 HE TELL US WHY WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM

3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

HE LET`S US KNOW THAT WE HAVE AN ETERNAL IDENTITY

AND GOD PRESENCE GIVES OUR IDENTITY ---ETERNAL DIGNITY

THATS WHY YOU OUGHT NOT LET PEOPLE OPINION YOU AFFECT YOU IN 2024 (REPEAT)

BECAUSE GOD MADE YOU

AND SINCE GOD MADE YOU

YOU DON`T NEED NOBOBY ELSE APPROVAL OF YOU
