More Praise


Featured song: Now’s The Time, by Carman, from his 1993 album, The Standard

The world doesn’t make sense at times. We know it today; the writers of the Bible knew it thousands of years ago. Certainly, it was known in the years when the songbook of the Bible, the book of Psalms, was written. And many of those songs focus on the glory of the Lord. They recognize that things happen that we don’t understand or like, but fall back on a faith that the Creator of the universe has everything under control.

It’s not a matter of putting hands over ears to not hear what’s wrong, or over the eyes to not see what’s wrong in the world. It has everything to do with seeing and hearing clearly everything around us, but still looking up to God, and giving Him the glory that He deserves.

Psalm 150 doesn’t waste words or draw it out. It tells why to praise God, it tells how to praise God, and finally tells who should praise God – “Everything that has breath”.

Join Carman in this rousing song giving praise to God!

Now’s the time to celebrate when the Lord’s your choice
Now’s the time to celebrate and make a joyful noise
Now’s the time to celebrate when the Lord’s your choice
Now’s the time to celebrate and make a joyful noise

Here’s the jam goin’ ‘cross the land
And a jam that I think you know
It’s a groove on the move and a groove you’ve heard
From the Word called the 1-5-0

Now this book called Psalm may look all calm
But it’s anything y’all, but mild
It’s all about praise when the big band plays
And it makes the saints go wild

Now’s the time to celebrate when the Lord’s your choice
Now’s the time to celebrate and make a joyful noise
Now’s the time to celebrate when the Lord’s your choice
Now’s the time to celebrate and make a joyful noise

Bring the glory down with the trumpet sound
Let the tambourine kick, too
With the harp and the lyre everyone can hear
How the praise of the Lord will come through

The strings, the bass, the cymbals clash
And the people clap their hands
The Spirit’s right and with all their might
Everyone starts to dance

Now’s the time to celebrate when the Lord’s your choice
Now’s the time to celebrate and make a joyful noise
Now’s the time to celebrate when the Lord’s your choice
Now’s the time to celebrate and make a joyful noise

Let the people sing, let the people dance
Let the people sing, lifting holy hands
Let the people sing, let the people dance
Let the people sing, lifting holy hands

Now’s the time to celebrate when the Lord’s your choice
Now’s the time to celebrate and make a joyful noise
Now’s the time to celebrate when the Lord’s your choice
Now’s the time to celebrate and make a joyful noise
