Celebrate the Day the Lord Has Made

This is the day the Lord made, let’s celebrate it! Here is a fun song I found from Forrest Frank that made my day. Plus the latest one I wrote too, “I Love You Lord”, with some Bible verses that remind me to CELEBRATE!

CELEBRATION

By Forrest Frank 2025

Lyrics

You, you, you, you, you know what to do (uh-huh)
It’s time to put your phone down and raise your attitude
The God who made the birds, seas, sun, and the moon
Isn’t somewhere far away, He is standing in the room (that’s true)

So let it scream, let it shout, let ’em know what you’re about
Keep it moving and grooving, don’t leave a single doubt
That today is the day that the Lord has created
Why would I just sit around just waiting?

Let’s have a celebration (let’s have a celebration)
It’s time to clap our hands and stomp our feet
Let’s have a celebration (let’s have a celebration)
If you believe that Jesus set you free

It’s time to celebrate, ayy-ayy-ate
Ayy-ayy-ate, ayy-ayy-ate
Ayy-ayy-ate, ayy-ayy-ate
Don’t sit there waiting, let’s have a celebration

Me, me, me, me, I need less of me
Father, Son, and Spirit, that’s who I call G-O-D
I used to be a blind man until You let me see
That who the Son sets free, You said, “Is truly free, ” indeed

So let it scream, let it shout, let ’em know what you’re about
Keep it moving and grooving, don’t leave a single doubt
That today is the day that the Lord has created
Why would I just sit around just waiting?

Let’s have a celebration (let’s have a celebration)
It’s time to clap our hands and stomp our feet
Let’s have a celebration (let’s have a celebration)
If you believe that Jesus set you free

It’s time to celebrate, ayy-ayy-ate
Ayy-ayy-ate, ayy-ayy-ate
Ayy-ayy-ate, ayy-ayy-ate
Don’t sit there waiting, let’s have a celebration

Celebration (oh yeah)
It’s time to clap our hands and to stomp our feet (yeah)
Let’s have a celebration (woo)
If you believe that Jesus set you free

It’s time to celebrate, ayy-ayy-ate
Ayy-ayy-ate, ayy-ayy-ate
Ayy-ayy-ate, ayy-ayy-ate
Don’t sit there waiting, let’s have a celebration

Here is the newest song I wrote, “I LOVE YOU LORD” by Diana Rasmussen

Copyright 2026 Diana Rasmussen

[Verse 1]

Lord, I lay my burdens down

Every wound and every scar

You are healing what was broken

Making beauty from my heart

What You’re building will endure

Through the storm and through the strain

Teach me how to walk in peace

And rest within Your grace

[Chorus]

I love You, Lord

I rest in You

When I can’t see the road ahead

I trust You’ll lead me through

I love You, Lord

My hope is sure

Whatever comes, You’re holding me

I love You, Lord

[Verse 2]

You unravel who I’ve been

To shape me into something new

In the shelter of Your hands

You’re teaching me to follow You

You are turning every page

Writing stories still untold

Leading me where You have called

With a faith that’s growing bold

[Chorus]

I love You, Lord

I rest in You

When I can’t see the road ahead

I trust You’ll lead me through

I love You, Lord

My hope is sure

Whatever comes, You’re holding me

I love You, Lord

[Bridge]

Prepare my heart for what You bring

Help me walk the narrow way

Give me courage, give me faith

To follow You each day

And when the future feels unknown

I’ll trust the plans You hold

Knowing every step I take

Is safely in Your control

[Final Chorus]

I love You, Lord

I rest in You

When I can’t see the road ahead

I trust You’ll lead me through

I love You, Lord

My hope is sure

Whatever comes, You’re holding me

I love You, Lord

I love You, Lord

I rest in You

And all my life will testify

Your love is faithful and true

I love You, Lord
