All breathing life

adores Your Name
Yah, our God -
All flesh alive
is raised to ecstasy
each time we become aware of You!
Beyond endless Time and Space that's vast
You are Divine
Only You are the One who
ultimately extricates and frees
ransoms, saves and sustains us
and cares when we are in distress
You, You alone secure our lives.

You ultimate Cause and ultimate Effect,
Source of all Creation
You manifest in all birthing
In every compliment it is You we praise
You manage Your universe with kindness -
with compassion all beings in it.

Yah ever awake and ever alert!
You rouse us from the deepest sleep
You give words to the speechless
You release the imprisoned
You support the stumbling
You give dignity to the downtrodden
Every appreciation we offer is Yours.

If ocean-full our mouth were with music
Our tongues singing like the ceaseless surf
Our lips praising You to the skies
Our eyes blazing like sun and moon
Our arms spread like soaring eagles
Our legs sprinting like those of deers
We could not thank You enough
Yah! Our God, our parents' God!
Neither could we celebrate by naming
the times exceeding millions
the places exceding billions
the favors You did
for our parents and for us.

Yah! Oh God! From oppression You redeemed us
Now we can never be at home in slavery -
During famines You fed us enough to live on
You shielded us from wars and plagues
From diseases of body and mind
you pulled us out.
To this moment Your caring helped us
We never lacked Your kindness
- Please don't ever abandon us God!.-

Our limbs want each to thank you
The air of each breath You breathed into us
Their very substance bless with gratitude
with praise and celebration
honoring that exalted holiness
so majestic, that is Your fame!

Our speech is appreciation
our expression an oath of loyalty
our attitude surrender
our stance before You obedience
our feelings overwhelming awe
our inners singing scales of Your Names
As it is in Scripture:
All my very essence exclaims:
Yah! Who? Like You?
You inspire the gentle to stand up to the bully
The poor disempowered to stand up to the thug.

No other can claim to be what You are
No other can pretend to be THE GREAT GOD
THE MIGHTY, THE AWESOME, THE GOD, MOST HIGH
Yet nesting in Heavens and Earth!
So we will keep celebrating and delighting
and blessing Your Holy Name with David:

"Yahhh! breathes my soul out to You.
all my inners pulse with You!"

Potent God Force!
Magnanimous in Glory
Ever prevailing
Awesome Mystery!

Majestic One, who presides over all destiny!

Eternal Sh'khinnah, Holy Beyond
Saints sing Yah!
In harmony with decent folks.

Good people exalt You
Saints are Your blessing
Devotees sanctify You
You delight in our inner holiness.
