OH!!!! I just have to share this with you!!! Let me preface this by telling you that I have been missing Suzanne dreadfully this morning............deep gratitude to a loving neighbor who let me sob out my grief and wet her shoulder as she held me. I am profoundly thankful for her love. So.........to help myself, I've been listening to conference as I've been working on little Hannah's blessing dress. Consider these words..........I'm going to write them in prose so you will not be tempted to pause as we so often do when we read poetry.........and I miss the meaning in the pause.....
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation!
Join the great throng,
Psaltery, organ, and song, Sounding in glad adoration!
Praise to the Lord! Over all things he gloriously reigneth.
Borne as on eagle wings, safely his Saints he sustaineth.
Hast thou not seen how all thou needest hath been granted in what he ordaineth?
Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy way and defend thee.
Surely his goodness and mercy shall ever attend thee.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
Who with his love doth befriend thee.
Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that is in me adore him!
All that hath breath, join with Abraham's seed to adore him!
Let the "amen" sum all our praises again,
Now as we worship before him.
Doesn't that just make you want to shout "hallelujah"???? and stretch and be better and be able to fall at his feet??? If songs of the righteous are prayers.......................
I wanted to share with you the choir singing this glorious hymn but I don't have the time right now to find it, etc., etc.........It was sung in conference, last April (2012), Sunday morning. Guaranteed to make you rejoice and cry, all at the same time!!!! Love to you all!!!!

I felt like if I looked this way I'd be filled. I wasn't disappointed.
