Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

but deliver us from evilFor Thine is the kingdom and the

power and the glory forever. Amen.

ChorusBless the Lord, O my soul,

O my soulWorship His holy nameSing like never before, O my soulI’ll worship Your holy name

The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning

It’s time to sing Your song againWhatever may pass,

and whatever lies before meLet me be singing

when the evening comesChorus

You’re rich in love, and You’re slow to anger

Your name is great, and Your heart is kind

For all Your goodness I will keep on singing

Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

Chorus

And on that day when my strength is failing

The end draws near and my time has come

Still my soul will sing Your praise unending

Ten thousand years and then forevermore
