Praise The Lord--An slight update of Psalm 146

Today a sort of re-write of Psalm 146.

Praise the Lord, O my soul!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
Sing praise to God all of your life.

You can trust the faces
filling up the news.
But when their time is over
their breath departs with all their views.

Set your eyes on heaven.
Trust in God above.
A God who brings us justice.
A God who fills our hearts with love.

The Lord, your God, created
the heavens and the sea.
The blind man's eyes are opened!
The prisoners are all set free!

God comes to those who hunger;
lifts up those who are down.
God gathers all the hurting.
The wicked are brought tumbling down.

Praise the Lord, O my soul!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
Sing praise to God all of your life.

I thought it would be nice to maybe just have a more poetic--and shorter (!) thought to kick off our week together. See you around this week.
