Sweet Reward

Sweet Reward

With all my heart and soul I will praise the Lord.
to sing and proclaim His praise, is sweet reward.
Forever I will praise you, my Lord God, my king,
You are the provider of my life, my everything.

No one can fathom the greatness of your love.
From beginning to forever you rein from above.
The children of my children will know your mighty acts,
For the fathers of my father have spoken of those facts.

My lips will speak of what my heart knows to be,
The wondrous work and the splendor of your majesty.
They will tell of your awesome works and great deeds,
That all may know the truth of the bases of my creeds.

From hilltop to hilltop I will sing of your mighty power,
In song I will reveal the blessings on me you shower.
Your ways are right and just, your love rich and true.
All you have made praises, and your saints exalt you.

My tongue delights in praise of your Holy name.
Of your glory and might may I forever proclaim.
My Lord you meet each need with grace and mercy,
Use me My Lord so your glorious splendor all may see.

Your kingdom everlasting, your dominion endures,
I know Your mercy forever, my salvation ensures.
I am blessed upon blessing to know God’s own Son,
Joyfully I now Belong to Him for what He has done.

Wondrous and great these gifts you freely give,
the price paid that now in you we truly can live.
With all my heart and soul I will praise the Lord,
To sing and proclaim His praise, is sweet reward.
