PSALM 95 LET US MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE TO THE ROCK OF OUR SALVATION!
Oh come, let us sing to the LORD; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! 3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. 4 In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. 5 The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. 6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! 7 For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, if you hear his voice, 8 do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness, 9 when your fathers put me to the test and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.
10 For forty years I loathed that generation and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways.” 11 Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They shall not enter my rest.” – Psalm 95:1-11

LET US COME INTO HIS PRESENCE WITH THANKSGIVING! By ILMA
All you God’s people, come, let us rejoice and give the Lord praise
He is the rock of our salvation and He is full of mercy and grace
Let us come into his presence with much gratitude and thanksgiving
For the Lord is great and He is above all gods and is King of kings
He created the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains
He made all living creatures, the sea and all the land formations
O, come, let us worship and bow down to our Lord, our Maker
Shout a joyful noise to proclaim our thanksgiving to his majesty.
Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts
He will refresh you and will bless your heart to make it pure
Praise and worship him by being thankful to all his provision
Count every little gift and blessings that you have been given
Praise him for every breath you take each moment of your life
Acknowledge him and be grateful for his guidance and his light
He is present in all that happens to you each and every day
He sees you clearly inside and out, he loves you passionately.
