I sing to the Lord my song of praise. I sing of His mercy and grace. I call to the Lord for He is good. I cry out my joy at His Word. I bring to the Lord my petitions and needs. I wait and knowingly trust. I surrender to the Lord my struggles and fears. I believe the battles are His. He heard Jehoshaphat’s prayer. He commanded the choir to sing. He brought the enemy into His lair and defeated them by His sting. The Lord is almighty. The Lord is King. I praise Him forthrightly. He is the reason I sing in the name and authority of Jesus, according to His good and perfect will Amen.
 
“And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who were to sing to the Lord and praise him in holy attire, as they went before the army,” (2 Chronicles 20: 21a ESV)
