With My Whole Heart...

I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.  I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.--Psalm 138:1-2

Father,

I will praise thee with all of my heart and glorify Your holy name, forever.  I will show forth Your marvelous works.  You forgive all my sins and satisfy my mouth with good things.  Your heart is kind toward me...You view me with pleasure and think of me with care!  You hear my cry, protect me from evil  and dwell with me.  I am high in Your esteem....so high that you died that I might live with You forever!   Great is your mercy to me, O Lord; You have delivered my soul from the lowest hell. 

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You revive me!  All my interests are safe in Your hands.  You are my God who is full of compassion...gracious, long-suffering and plenteous in mercy and truth.  You turn to me...You look(ed) upon ME!! and have mercy.  You give strength to Your servant. I will be glad and rejoice in You!  

Fill my mind with thoughts of You...encompass me on every side!  Your word, O Lord, stands forever.  All will be fulfilled...every jot and every tittle.  Let it be my delight always...fulfill in me Your desires!   Put Your words in my mouth...cause me to speak in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.  O Father, be the melody of my heart now and forever!
