Are You There?

ARE YOU THERE?

1Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

2Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

3Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

1. Can any one hear us?

1Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

We are making a lot of noise but for the wrong thing.

Is there joy in our hearts and lives?

Watching a football game quarterback cant hear for all the noise.

Watching the church all is quite on the home front

No one moving some one may get the wrong idea

2. Who is this for?

2Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

All people

All lands

All denominations

Will this must include me

3. Where are we?

come before his presence with singing.

In the presence of the Lord

This should be the happiest day of our week

We need to serve him with gladness

Let nothing stand in the way

4. Wake up know and understand who he is.

3Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

He made us

We are his

The sheep he came to save

His pasture not ours

5. Just come on in

4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Come through the door thanking him

In his presents praising him

Thanking him for the good and the bad.

Bless his holy name

6. He never stops.

5For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Not just good but a great God

The mercy he gives is for life

He endures all our failures and loves us

Not to one but to all
