If I could Praise thee Lord God, our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Would it be enough to live throughout all eternity and give thee Praise. Or praise you ten thousand times ten thousand; and thousands of thousands? The Word Dwelt, The Word Ascended, Word calls us to be Called of Christ. NO flesh will glory in his presence for he is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. The Gospel of Christ, there is no other. The Lamb worthy to be praised for spiritual blessings of our redemption through Christ our Lord raises us up to heavenlies and gives us strength to walk here among the living. For through the blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony, and loving not our lives unto the death do we overcome. We are reminded of A.W. Tozer who says “In Almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we’re pleased. He wills that we be free as birds to soar and sing our maker’s praise without anxiety.”
“A Journey for those who look into the Whirlwind of these Last Days! Bearing the Cross in the War of Ages where Faith is the Victory that overcomes the World.”
“By Gods grace, we endure from faith to faith; day to day, and pass by from trouble to endurance to an overcomer!”

If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times
The Apostle John says in his first chapter “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us” which in itself is wonderful. But of this John says further “and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth”! The fact that he came, lived, testified, taught, and died on the cross for our sins, and then resurrected from the dead is in itself a miracle. But here we find that of his fulness; including His glory, to be like Him is stated in that it says, “we have all received and grace for grace”! Here’s Gods favor, i.e. His Grace is added unto us. Then more grace, more favor, and more understanding along with the power through His Spirit to overcome.
Eternal Praise He Dwelt
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
John 1:14-18 If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times
It is here that we must allow our Praise unto God to overflow, knowing that if we spent all eternity giving praise and honor to our God and Father and our Lord Jesus Christ; even this would never be enough.
Matthew declared that Mary, “a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted God with us” -Mat 1:23. It is this God who is with us which came and delivered unto us this wonderful salvation of which we neither could have worked for or given to ourselves. This mercy of God comes in the form of His Grace or favor along with His Spirit to guide, keep, and comfort us. This Mercy comes from the love of God. This is the Love of the truth found in 2nd Thessalonians chapter two. The very love of the truth that the world will reject according to the Apostle Paul.
If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times He is Coming Again
In Acts we read that the Apostles watched our Lord ascend from their sight, “while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold two men stood by them in white apparel”. It is here that all the events of the coming of the Word and the beholding of His glory and the work of the cross came to an anti-Climax.
The group had been with the Messiach all along. They learned, talked, discussed, asked questions, ate together, and went all over Jewish and Samaritan lands of the Roman controlled empire. They prayed, slept, and worked toward the fulfillment of the work of Christ on earth. They were shaken when he went to the cross, saddened when he was beaten, stripped, and put on a cross and died. They mourned when he was laid in the tomb. They were shocked when he was gone from the tomb and his body and face wrappings laid in the empty tomb signaling something wonderful or sad had happened.
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Acts 1:9-11 If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times
Two angelic messengers told them “he was risen”! The group went through all that, learning later the prophecy and the fulfillment of it all. Now they were watching him leaving. Out of their sight they stood watching still, wondering when he would come again. He promised he would come again and they were told that “this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven”! In a short while the Holy Ghost would come on Pentecost and the outpouring of the Spirit of God would empower the group to win the known world for Jesus Christ with the Word of God being confirmed by the miracles and signs and wonders given by the Lord.
If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times
- Made of the seed of David according to the flesh
- Declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.
- We have received grace and apostleship [speaking of the Apostles, including himself Paul the Apostle to the gentiles.
- This was done so that the obedience to the faith would be preached among all nations for his name sake
- Among those who believed and belong to that faith were the Romans to whom the Apostle was writing.
This was bigger than all the Apostles. This would be for all time, all nations, all peoples, all ages, all dispensations, and throughout all the world for eternity comes and, in that place, it would continue forever and ever; world without end Amen! It is here we can say; “If We were to Praise thee Oh God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ Ten thousand times ten thousand even that would not be enough”.
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: ) Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
Rom 1:3-6 If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times
If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times | Found in Christ Jesus
It is written that God purposely had “chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise”. That through flesh and their foolish prideful wisdom men could not know God, for he is spiritually discerned or known. However, the same God that sent his Son to die for our sins also chose the “weak things, the base things, despised things of this world to bring to nothing all those things that this world of men glory in”!
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
1st Co 1:27-31 If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times
God saves the lowly, cast down, meagerly, and the rejects. He chooses to send his word through people who are his redeemed and they testify and teach and preach the Word of God. A Word you must have faith in and believe it, or it won’t do you any good. He can use many things, avenues, and tools; but the strength of the Lord does not depend on human means, technology, ideals, wisdom, or anything that is flesh. For flesh and its sinful ways doesn’t know God.
Flesh will not glory in the presence of God saying that if it were not for them, the plan of God would never had succeeded! But God will use those who are found in Christ Jesus. It had been God the Father that made available to us all wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption through the work of His Son. His Son willingly came because of the same Love the Father had for man. So that we could be like Him, in Him, and doing His will.
If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times One Gospel
There is only one Lord and Savior; Jesus [Yeshua] Christ and as such there is also only one God and Father, the God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. There is no other salvation and certainly no other gospel. There is only one Word of God, the Bible including the Tanakh and the Brit Chadashah or New testament [covenant].
It is here that Paul the Apostle to the gentile’s stresses to the Galatians that of the Gospel of Christ, there “is not another” gospel although the troublemakers and deceivers “would pervert the gospel of Christ”. The thing which many have already done, and this deed was done ages ago. Today this perversion is well known and accepted as just another religion or division of Christianity. Make sure you understand anyone who pushes these forms of Christianity based not on the Apostolic witness and doctrine are liars and thieves.
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal:6-8 If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times
The fact that many of these fairytale modern Christian romances of the gospel testify that an angel or messenger of God came to them. Paul warns that if “we [the Apostles] or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed” Understand this, the gospel of God through our Lord Jesus Christ [Yeshua Ha Massiach] in the Greek IESOUS; was and is the only gospel. It is the very word the Apostles preached and taught and the Word that was written which came to us as the New Testament! There is no other. If anyone else tells you there is another, be warned those who follow that other gospel will be damned.
Here let it be said that this redemption we have certainly warrants Praise to our God today and in eternity. Revelation chapter four describes the Throne and “one who sat upon the throne” which is described in a glorious manner. Around him were twenty-four seats with elders sitting upon the seats. All these had crowns of Gold on their heads. We see also lightnings, thundering, voices, lamps of fire, and the seven Spirits of God**. Here we also find that the beasts spend 24/7 honoring the Lord God Almighty saying Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty which was, and is, and is to come” -Rev 4:8. Further the Twenty four Elders fall down and worship the Lord God on the throne and cast their crowns saying “thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou has created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created”-Rev 4:11.
If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times
In addition, we find in Revelation chapter five the glorious scene of the Lamb as it had been slain. This Lamb is the Spiritual and redemptive picture of the Son of God in heaven. This even took place after the Lord’s death and burial and just after the resurrection. For as Mary saw and talked with the Lord, being the first of the disciples to do so; the Lord said, “touch me not”! He had to ascend to the father. It would be here in this scene out of Revelation that shows the glorious celebration and the breaking of the seals. That book and the seals represent the redemptive process and the law which had to be fulfilled by the Lamb who is Jesus Christ. The Lamb of the Atonement, being the fulfillment of this process was all finished on that cross and the resurrection.
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
(Rev 5:9-14) If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times
Further, it was fulfilled and satisfied the law when our Lord took our sins and died as the atonement on that cross. It was completed, and the sign was his resurrection, to wit he was the first fruit. But the point here is that in this scene we see the redeemed in heaven. This is our first picture, other pictures of this are found in detail in Revelation 21. We find that there standing in the midst of this celebration are a vast number no man could count. These all, the “number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands” are a praise and a glory unto our God and Father through Jesus Christ our Lord. They are made “Kings and Priests” to our God: and they “shall reign on the earth”! It is this eternal celebration filled with the redeemed who sing praises saying, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times Spiritual blessings
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us acc epted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Above Verses 3-7, 11-12 from Context Eph 1:3-12 If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times
In addition, we see every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, in the sea, and all that is made praising the Lord. These were saying “Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” It is here at this point the celebration reaches another climax when those elders who had already tossed their crowns and knelt before the Lord and praised him; again, fell down and worshipped him who lives forever and ever! Surely this praise and those who gave it are united in celebration and in them lives the Spirit of the Living God and of Christ!
If we are headed to this celebration, then make sure you will be there. Follow your heart and the Word of God. Begin with this. Receive the Lord as in John 1 and have been born of the Spirit John 3, confess your sins as in Romans 3-7 and in 1 John 1: 7-9 are found in Christ walking in the light as He is the light. It is here that today, in these tough and perilous times that you need to give glory and honor to the Lord. Giving thanks unto our God and Father through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Today many believers around the world are staggering under the weight of oppression, prison, death, and even more persecution. Yet despite this attack on Christianity and those who follow it, the church grows, people continue in the faith, and others come to faith as well. No matter what comes or who attacks Christians and their faith, they are overcomers through and in Christ Jesus to the glory of the Father.
Focus on Him, have tunnel vision, and look to Him. Yet the Praise out of our lips as we move through these perilous times will be the fuel to rise above the static and clutter of everyday life! We can rise above, walk on the high mountain tops, and be confident in Him who has redeemed us!
For they Overcame by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death -Revelation 12:11
As Paul said, “Having done all to stand, stand therefore” -Eph 6:13!

A. Barnes commentary on Revelation Eternal Praise to Thee Lord GodNotes: If I could Praise Thee Ten Thousand Times
**Seven Spirits of God -very difficult phrase and has been given a number of meanings here. In the context of Rev 1:4 and Rev 4:5, it could very well refer to Seven ministering angels or spirits before Gods throne night and day, a point Barnes makes. I agree because of the context of the mentioning of these seven spirits, howbeit angels before Gods throne. The bottom line no one really knows 100% what this refers too! In addition, these also could well be the Seven angels to the seven churches mentioned in Revelation 1. But as Albert Barnes also says of this:
A third opinion is, that the reference is to seven attending and ministering presence-angels – angels represented as standing before the throne of God, or in his presence. This opinion was adopted among the ancients by Clemens of Alexandria Andreas of Cesarea, and others; among the moderns by Beza, Drusius, Hammond, Wetstein, Rosenmuller, Clarke, Prof. Stuart, and others.
