Ever Be

This song has been my waking thoughts for several mornings now. The Lord has been doing a lot of ministering to me through praise songs lately, it is re-establishing our closeness and encouraging me. When I'm awake I have praise praying most of the time, but He picks out a lot of songs from ones that I haven't heard for a long time or ones that haven't really stood out. He also chooses certain lines from the songs to repeat over and over. I believe this song was teaching me to praise Him continually!

Your love is devoted like a ring of solid gold
Like a vow that is tested like a covenant of old
Your love is enduring through the winter rain
And beyond the horizon with mercy for today

Faithful You have been and faithful You will be
You pledge Yourself to me and it's why I sing

Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips

You Father the orphan
Your kindness makes us whole
And You shoulder our weakness
And Your strength becomes our own
Now You're making me like You
Clothing me in white
Bringing beauty from ashes
For You will have Your bride

Free of all her guilt and rid of all her shame
And known by her true name and it's why I sing

Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips

You will be praised You will be praised
With angels and saints we sing worthy are You Lord
You will be praised You will be praised
With angels and saints we sing worthy are You Lord
And it's why I sing
