"Praise Him in Song"

"I Exalt Thee"

"I Exalt Thee" is not a long song, and is so worshipful. It has a beautiful melody.

At the age of 26, Pete Sanchez was involved in Christian music.  He felt it would be good to withdraw from active ministry for a time, and he began studying the Psalms.  One day, he came across Psalm 97:9:  

"For thou, Lord, art high above all the earth:  thou art exalted far above all gods."  It seemed powerful to him and he began to work on it with the piano.

He got the opening line:

 

"For Thou, O Lord, art high above all the earth."

 

But it wasn't till eighteen months later that the rest came.  And it was a very special moment for him.  

 

Thou art exalted far above all gods.  (repeat.)

For Thou, O Lord, art high above all the earth."

Thou art exalted far above all gods.

 

I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee O Lord.  (Repeat.)

 

I  play some piano, and I often find myself ending with this song.
