SING TO THE LORD!

Poem for Today - October 18, 2014

SIMPLE SONG

Sing God a simple song, Lauda laude

Make it up as you go along, Lauda laude

Sing like you like to sing, God loves all simple things

For God is the simplest of all,

For God is the simplest of all.

I will sing the Lord a new song

To praise Him, to bless Him, to bless the Lord,

I will sing His praises while I live, all of my days.

Blessed is the man who loves the Lord,

Blessed is the man who praises Him,

Lauda, lauda, laude

And walks in His ways.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help

I will lift up my voice to the Lord

Singing Lauda, Laude

For the Lord is my shade

Is the shade upon my right hand

And the sun shall not smite me by day,

Nor the moon by night

Blessed is the man who loves the Lord

Lauda, lauda, laude

And walks in His ways.

Lauda, lauda, laude, 

Lauda Lauda di da di day… 

All of my days.
