“Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased”. Hebrew 13:15-16.

When alone and forsaken

Praise Him for His presence

When in need and anxious

Praise Him for His provisions

When ailing and hurting

Praise Him for the healing

When troubled and heavy laden

Praise Him for the peace

When unsure of the future

Praise Him for His direction

When in poverty and want

Praise Him for the prosperity

When in battle and warfare

Praise him for the victory

When tired and weary

Praise him for the rest.

Praise, praise Him, ye saints

For His promises are Aye and Amen

Praise, praise Him, ye saints

For His love Endures Forever!

    god will always be there for you, With his gifts of life or death,He will always remain true, you will meet him when your time is near and you draw your last breath. Amen.

    Very well written poem, full of the message of faith that God will provide. I have to say – I have sung this phrase in church many times, but never really thought of the sacrifice of praise meaning that we begin to praise God even when we have not yet felt His answer to our prayer – we praise Him because we know that He will answer.
