Psalm | Psalm 66:1-8 (with Nick Locke)

Opening Song:
Come And See (Psalm 66) by Ross Fishburn and Shane Barnard

Lyrics:
Sun and moon and stars
All declaring who You are
Bowing to His majesty
The One who cares for me

Come and see what God has done
His awesome deeds towards all He loves
Let the sound of praise be heard
Shout for joy to God all the earth

All creation sings Your praise
Every creature bows to say
To the one who reigns on high
All glory power and might

Every mountain sing high
Every valley sing low
And everything in between sing the harmony
Every mountain sing high
Every valley sing low
And everyone in between sing the harmony

Shout for joy to God all the earth

Passage:
Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
2 sing the glory of his name;
give to him glorious praise!
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.
4 All the earth worships you
and sings praises to you;
they sing praises to your name.” Selah

5 Come and see what God has done:
he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
6 He turned the sea into dry land;
they passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him,
7 who rules by his might forever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations—
let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

8 Bless our God, O peoples;
let the sound of his praise be heard,
