All Generations

I highly praise my God and King,
As I bless His name forever;
Lifting up my voice as I sing,
A blessing that will not sever.

I will bless Him every day,
As I praise His name forever;
Keeping my trust as I obey,
Throughout all that I endeavor.

The Lord is great and should be praised,
His greatness is unsearchable;
I am astounded and amazed,
Of all that is accountable.

Our lives are getting more perplexed,
But we should never neglect;
One generation to the next,
His mighty acts never reject.

It is a glorious honor,
To see the miraculous things;
For it has made me a fawner,
All the majestic good it brings.

People talk about the power,
Used in the terrifying deeds;
But will marvel at the flower,
That will sprout up from little seeds.

They will announce as they recall,
Of His godly mercy and grace;
Joyfully sing placing a call,
In prayer for seeking His embrace.

The Lord is merciful and patient,
As compassionate to forgive;
So comforting is sufficient,
Every moment that you live.

God is good to everyone,
Compassion for all that He made;
Ever since when time had begun,
Eager to go rendering aid.

His Kingdom is everlasting,
Endures through each generation;
But He will be always casting,
Contempt in incineration.

His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
