Music Monday: 10,000 Reasons {Bless the Lord}

The past month or so, we've heard this song on the Christian radio station often. It quickly became one of my favorite songs. I think Matt Redman is one of today's best Christian songwriters. This song speaks of my own desire to praise God in each and every day, a great reminder of what Psalm 118 says, "This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." A reminder to sing and praise God even when things are not "going my way" and I don't feel like praising God. God is so good, and we need to praise Him each day with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength. Are you praising Him today?

10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman

Bless the lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I worship you holy name
The sun comes up 
Its a new day dawning
Its time to sing your song again
What ever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes
Bless the lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before 
Oh my soul
I worship your holy name
You're rich in love and you're slow to anger
Your name is great and your heart is kind
For all your goodness I will keep on singing
10,000 reasons for my heart to find
Bless the lord oh my soul

Oh my soul

Worship his holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I worship your holy name
And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing your praise unending
10,000 years and then forever more
Bless the lord oh my soul 
Oh my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I worship your holy name
Bless the lord oh my soul 
Oh my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I worship your holy name (repeat 3x)
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I worship your holy name (repeat 3x)
