Praise be to the Lord God

I praise God for his healing for our grandson, Eli, who had emergency surgery one week ago. As the verses below indicate, God “alone does marvelous deeds.”

Psalm 72:17-19*
17 May his name endure forever; may it continue as long as the sun. All nations will be blessed through him, and they will call him blessed.
18 Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
19 Praise be to his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.

These verses reminded me of the lyrics of this song:

How Great is Our God
Artist: Chris TomlinAlbum: ArrivingTrack: How Great is Our God
”The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice

He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end

he Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb

Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing

How great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God”
