Outdoorsman's Prayer

It is common in Christian circles to use Psalm 150 for a prayer of praise. It is one of my favorite Psalms and very appropriate in offering praise to our Lord. - As an sportsman and a writer I want to take some artistic license to offer my own prayer of praise for all God has given us sportsman and women.

Praise God
Praise Him from the duck blind
Praise Him from the slews and swamps.

Praise God from the snow covered mountains
Praise Him from the woodlots and the plains

Praise God from the groud-blind
Praise Him from the tree stand

Praise God from the lakes
Praise Him from the rivers and ponds
Praise Him from the dove field and pheasant drives

Praise God from the canoe
Praise Him from the bass boat and kayak

Praise God from the deep ocean
Praise Him from the mountain stream and small creek.

Praise God for the sunrise
Praise Him for the sunsets

Praise God for the opportunity to hunt
Praise Him for the opportunity to fish
to paddle, wade, camp, hike, stalk, and cast.

Praise Him for the the sharing of lives,
Praise Him for the experience of witnessing his creation

Praise God
