A song anticipating the rapture
. receive all glory, honor, and praise!
Story behind the song
I saw a photo of the sun reflecting a "pathway" on the ocean and I imagined it to be a path for the Lord's return. My mind began reeling with ideas about the rapture and this song is the result of that.
Lyrics
LORD, I PRAISE YOU by Jeff Leslie 1/29/04
The sun on an ocean of blue
lights a pathway of gold
The palm trees and I bow down, too
as a mighty wind blows
And white waves that dance in and out of the sand
Are washing my feet on the beach where I stand
Preparing the way for the great I AM
Lord, I Praise You
Here with every creation on earth
Lord, I Praise You
For the glorious day You return
The bird wings so high up above
beat in time with my heart
And make my heart leap with Your love
to the height that they are
You call out my name, I get higher and higher
The sound in my soul is a heavenly choir
To worship You now is my only desire
Lord, I Praise You
Here with every creation on earth
Lord, I Praise You
For the glorious day You return
For Your mercy and Your pardon
For Your love and Your wonderful grace
For the promise of Your heaven
For forever I want to praise you.
Lord, I Praise You
Here with every creation on earth
Lord, I Praise You
For the glorious day You return
I give You praise for the wonderful things You have done
You took my place on the cross just to show me Your love
