Another song about singing (these seem to be particularly precious), "Songs of Praise" is a wonderful hymn about when, where, and how God will receive songs of praise. Whether it is here on earth or forever in heaven, God's people will forever praise His name.
Revelation chapter 5 gives us a glimpse into what is in store for us in heaven. We see the Lord Jesus as the Lamb who is worthy to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing. (Revalation 5:12) This song reminds us of why Jesus is worthy - because of who He is. He is our prophet, priest, and king, the Lord of lords and sun of righteousness. He is our peace, our sacrifice, and our all-in-all, and will one day be our true glory-crown as we worship Him forever in heaven.
This is one of the most well beloved hymns about our communion with and love for Jesus. Written by a 16 year old, the depth and power of these lyrics are sure to cause the heart to remember the love it has for it's redeemer. Arguably the most precious verse is the third, wherein we sing that we desire to love Jesus in life and death, and praise Him all the days of our life. May our dying words be "If ever I loved You, my Jesus, it's now."
