This is what we are created for, to know God, praise Him and be with Him in His new creation forever. We are loved more than we realize, surrounded by grace, even in the midst of trials and hardships. God is with us forever. Chad unpacks this wonderful Psalm and renews us with words of truth and encouragement. Izzi Ray sings "You Are The Only One"

Psalm 148 ESV

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights! Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts!

Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars! Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens!

Let them praise the name of the Lord! For he commanded and they were created. And he established them forever and ever; he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.a]">[a]

Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all deeps, fire and hail, snow and mist, stormy wind fulfilling his word!

Mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars! Beasts and all livestock, creeping things and flying birds!

Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth! Young men and maidens together, old men and children!

Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven. He has raised up a horn for his people, praise for all his saints, for the people of Israel who are near to him. Praise the Lord!

Lyrics to "You are the Only One"

Praise the Lord from the heavens

Praise the Lord from the heights

with the brightest lights of heaven

from the depths of the darkest night

Fire and hail, snow and rain

The wind blows and fulfills Your word

Mountains, hills and valleys low

The air resounds with the song of birds

Hallelujah

Chorus:

Only One and only One

Only One is worthy of praise

from the heavens above

from the depths of the earth

Because of Your love

We thank you, together we praise You

You are the Only One

Praise the name of the Lord

For in his name we are saved

You have raised up a horn for your people

The people who are near to You

We are Your people

Chorus:

Only One and only One

Only One is worthy of praise

from the heavens above

from the depths of the earth

Because of Your love

We thank you, together we .praise You

You are the Only One
