I awoke this morning singing loudly an old praise hymn titled "I Will Praise Him". It was written by Margaret J. Harris in 1898.
- When I saw the cleansing fountain
Open wide for all my sin,
I obeyed the Spirit’s wooing,
When He said, "Wilt thou be clean?"
- Refrain
I will praise Him! I will praise Him!
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
Give Him glory, all ye people,
For His blood can wash away each stain.
Though the way seems straight and narrow,
All I claimed was swept away;
My ambitions, plans and wishes,
At my feet in ashes lay.
- Refrain
I will praise Him! I will praise Him!
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
Give Him glory, all ye people,
For His blood can wash away each stain.
Then God’s fire upon the altar
Of my heart was set aflame;
I shall never cease to praise Him
Glory, glory to His Name!
- Refrain
I will praise Him! I will praise Him!
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
Give Him glory, all ye people,
For His blood can wash away each stain.
Blessed be the Name of Jesus!
I’m so glad He took me in;
He’s forgiven my transgressions,
He has cleansed my heart from sin.
- Refrain
I will praise Him! I will praise Him!
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
Give Him glory, all ye people,
For His blood can wash away each stain.
Glory, glory to the Father!
Glory, glory to the Son!
Glory, glory to the Spirit!
Glory to the Three in One!
- Refrain
I will praise Him! I will praise Him!
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
Give Him glory, all ye people,
For His blood can wash away each stain.

Praise is praising Him for just being God. For just who He is. Praise, we praise God for who He is. Just because He’s God we bring praises, we sing praises to God.
“Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens! Praise Him in the heights! Praise Him all the angels! Praise Him all His host! Praise Him sun and moon! Praise Him all you stars of light! Praise Him you heavens of heavens, and you waters above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the Lord!”
Praise the name of the Lord!
Let's lift His name on high!
That's a great way to wake up.
Sure enough!
