Total Praise

August 26, 2018 (Sunday)
The hymn, “Total Praise,” is a majestic, reverent song that gives all glory to God for giving us daily spiritual strength. It was written by Richard Smallwood at a time in his life when he felt weakened by trials. The words of this hymn express confidence in God in any and all circumstances.
I have been preaching at Bethel Baptist Church in Ingleside for several years, but I remember the choir of the First Baptist Church of Rockport singing this song, lifting the spirits of the congregation as Allen Ray Moers led them. I got the feeling that it was a favorite of both director and choir. Rightfully so.
