Why Do We Lift Our Hands in Praise?

For those of you that don't understand why we lift our hands while we sing praises to Our Lord and Savior Jesus, here's my explanation.

Although he was free from sin, he let men nail him to a cross. He died for us, even though we may deny him or are unfaithful. He has me engraved in the palm of His hands.

He loved me when I was in my mother's womb.

He gives me peace.

He is my fortress in my time of trouble.

Heard all of that before? Here's what he's done for me.
1. He healed my daughter from bacterial meningitis.
2. He healed my son from chronic asthma.
3. He healed me of early stages of cervical cancer.
4. He's saved me from accidents.
5. He's provided for me and my children.
6. He blesses me even though I am unfaithful and don't deserve it.
7. He gives me a peace that surpasses all understanding.

THAT'S WHY I SING AND RAISE MY HANDS TO JESUS.

Here's the song: Why We Sing by Kirk Franklin.

Be blessed....
