Praise Factor In him we were also chosen… in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be FOR THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY. - Ephesians 1:11-12

It is hard to imagine a greater truth than this:  God chose you.  You are not 
His because of anything you have done (or not done).  You are not His because 
of your great looks or amazing talents.  You are His because He picked you to 
be His own.    Take a minute and consider God’s decision to chose you to be His…  
He chose us so that we might be “For the Praise of His Glory”.    So live like one 
chosen and lift up praise to His glorious love, power and presence.  The One who 
chose you will be pleased by the way you fulfill your purpose.    

Dear Father,  THANK YOU for choosing me.  I cannot understand why you would, 
but I know that you did, so thank you.  I want to live this day for praise of Your 
glory.  Amen, amen!    

A Song of Worship:  Great Is Your Glory     
(Words & Music by Vicky Beeching & Ed Cash)    

God came down and gave His life for me - Amen, Amen 
Through flesh and blood, He fought for victory - Amen, Amen

Crucified, brought back to life - Amen, Amen
   Seated at the Father's hand again - Amen, Amen

Great is the glory of the Lord Almighty, Great is the glory of the Lord
   I will sing with all my heart unto You Lord Almighty
   Great is Your glory Lord!

Crimson covered over sinless hands - Amen, Amen
   But nails could never hold the Son of Man - Amen, Amen

Now the Father's love flows down on us - Amen, Amen
   Hallelujah he will come again! - Amen, Amen

Great is the glory of the Lord Almighty, Great is the glory of the Lord
   I will sing with all my heart unto You Lord Almighty
   Great is Your glory Lord!

You are the one who was 
   You are the one who is
   You are the one who is to come
   
   Great is the glory of the Lord Almighty, Great is the glory of the Lord
   I will sing with all my heart unto You Lord Almighty
   Great is Your glory Lord!
