All creatures of our God and King

Hello Friends! Happy new year to you all :) Steven and I are super excited to see what this year will bring-we both have a feeling that it will be a year of growth and change. We have had a bit of a break from leading worship with the holidays and all, and while practicing last night- realized how much we missed it. We are deeply looking forward to playing tonight at Core and this sunday night at REMIX, and getting back in the swing of things. Included in that is our postings :) We have had this song “All Creature of our God and King” Recorded for awhile but haven’t had the time to post it :) So Here it is-

The Hymn was written in 1225 by Francis of Assisi. He wrote it right before his death, when he was losing his sight and feeling very sick. He decided to write about what was always on his heart- the praise of God. In this Hymn you are able to see Francis’ love for God and His creation. He lived a very simple life that allowed him to notice things, that we sometimes, or a lot of times, overlook. Francis believed that all of the earth’s creatures get their life from God, and that we all depend on Him for our continued existence. This truth led him to do nothing more then to praise God.  So simple -but this becomes harder and harder to daily remember and reflect on as our world grows and progresses.

Francis reflected on Psalm 145:10,11 when writing this song- “ All your works shall give thanks to you, O LORD, and all your saints shall bless you! 11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and tell of your power.”

We enjoy playing this song because of the simplicity of it. It is sometimes nice to sing a song that allows you to not be distracted by a lot complex lyrics and to just sing O Praise Him-Alleluia!! Thanks for taking the time to read and we hope you download and love the song :) Click on the title of the song  to download!
