Psalm of Praise  Elsa Cook
Inspired by Psalm 47

Raise your arms and bring your palms together.
Clap, clap, clap your hands. Make music with your whole body. 
Sway into the power of God’s goodness.
Enter into the rhythm of that selah where there is rest 
from all that worries and burdens us. 

There is so much to weigh us down
that we could get stuck there
But we will choose to sing. 
We will lift our voices and raise our hands.
We will clap our hands and sing praise
In that selah where God meets us. We will be lifted
in song and delight because God is here. 
We will be renewed by song
and remember what we praise
and why. In that selah, we will 
sing praises with a psalm. 
Clap your hands, everyone!
