Bless the Lord - Jeff Deyo

Today I heard this song for the first time, even though it was written in 2003.
Bless The Lord Oh My Soul!
Where have I been?  Jeff Deyo was the lead singer in the band SonicFlood from its creation in 1999 through 2000.  Bless the Lord was released on his Light album and I just love it.  It has just ministered to me all day long and I wanted to share it with you.  I posted the lyrics here as well because they are so incredible.

See we need to MAKE ourSELF worship.  We need to tell our "self" to do the things that our flesh doesn't always readily do.  So, take a few minutes and tell your soul to worship the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.  He alone is worthy.  In your trial - bless Him.  In your victory - bless Him.  In your lack - bless Him.  In your abundance - bless Him.  Bless the Lord or my soul, bless the Lord!

Bless The Lord - Jeff Deyo

For your beauty,
For your goodness,
And your wisdom.. Awesome God
Praise the Lord oh my soul, Praise the Lord.

For your power,
For your honor,
And your splender... Mighty God
Praise the Lord oh my soul, Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord oh my soul, Praise the Lord.

Chorus:

And I will worship you,
I will bless your name forever,
I will worship you,
Bless the Lord oh my soul, Bless the Lord
Bless the Lord oh my soul, Bless the Lord

For your Kindness
For your Favor,
For your Mercy.. Gracious One
Thank the Lord oh my Soul, Thank the Lord.

For your testing
And your Spirit... Holy One

Thank the Lord oh my Soul, Thank the Lord.

Chorus

Bless the Lord oh my Soul,

For your Suffering,
For your Anguish
And your sorrow.. humble King,
Bless the Lord oh my soul, Bless the Lord.
Bless the Lord oh my soul, Bless the Lord.

For your Victory,
For your Triumph,
And your soon coming reign over all.

And I will worship you,
I will bless your name forever.

Bless the Lord oh my Soul, Bless the Lord.

And I will worship you,
I will bless your name forever.
