Praise magnifies God’s attributes and actions, extending our vision like a telescope to behold God’s goodness and beauty. It deepens our image of God by recounting God’s concrete works: creation, provision, redemption through Christ, and daily renewal by the Spirit. This trinitarian narrative guards against seeing God as a vague force or distant landlord. In awe and grateful submission, praise responds with heartfelt cries: “Wow!” “Thank you!” “I love you!”
You can find all these songs on the Spotify playlist “Praise” from the Calvin University Chapel.
