Lord I just adore you! Jesus thank you for loving me before I even knew you.
Warri, Delta State, Nigeria
The Hymns are quite complementary to the scripture.
How they soften the grounds of our souls for the Word to bloom in our inner man.
Thank you Lord Jesus.
Amen!!!

He deserves all worship-the Amen!

One of my favourites hymns. I will praise the Lord forever.
Stanfield, NC, United States
What a gift! Lord we worship you! We praise you!
Abuja, FCT, Nigeria
This is one of my favorite hymns!
I have never let it go. It sings to my God in the most heart warming way! Love it!
Sparks, NV, United States
Thus is one of my favorites! I like all five verses. It has a beautiful progression, extolling God for his many graces and gifts to us!
Nairobi, Kenya
We sang it with a pipe organ in a church in Nairobi today.
I like the opening line. It is unique and a contrast to the common "praise the Lord".
The poetry comes out best when read - some of it gets lost when sung or displayed on the LCD screens, e. g. the end of 1st and 3rd line of the first verse as displayed above.
The hymn has many hidden gems and nuances.
Lagos, Nigeria
"While I live I will praise the Lord, I will sing praises to my God while I have my being "(psalm 146: 2)
