THANKSGIVING – These songs express gratitude to God for His acts of deliverance, healing, divine provision, protection, promotion, His faithfulness toward us etc. 10. PRAISE - PRAISE IS the expression of approval or admiration for God. Such songs just focus on God and Him alone; who He is, what He has done, would do His judgment, personality, names etc. These songs extol the beauty of Holiness and express and affirm our love and devotion and preference. They emphasize His might, wisdom, power, compassion, knowledge, faithfulness, supremacy, eternity, majesty etc. Hannah’s song of thanksgiving (1 Sam. 2:1-10) When Moses and Israel crossed the Red Sea Moses sang unto God (Ex. 15:1-2, 11) Praise has nothing to do with what is happening but what is about to happen. If the Lord has not done anything at all, He has saved you, Praise Him!
