In sharp contrast to yesterday’s prayer for peace (see: https://wp.me/p45bCr-eu7), today’s is an outpouring of love and praise for God, and for all creation:
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow.
(1 Thessalonians 3:12; NIV).
1. Lord,
My heart is full of love
For land, sea, sky,
And heaven above;
2. For life on earth
And all it brings;
For day and night;
Each star that sings:
3. May every voice
Be raised to you
In joyful praise,
O King of kings.
On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
(Revelation 19:16; NIV).
