A Song Of Praise

I love to sing. I really like singing songs of praise. When I sing songs of praise my heart is taken to a really good place. In that place of praise, I’m reminded that I did nothing to deserve being saved, but God did. He rescued me. He poured His Spirit in my soul and I’m forever different. I love this song of praise that Isaiah pours out to the Lord. Check this out…

1 Lord, you are my God;

    I will exalt you and praise your name,

for in perfect faithfulness

    you have done wonderful things,

    things planned long ago.

4 You have been a refuge for the poor,

    a refuge for the needy in their distress,

a shelter from the storm

    and a shade from the heat.

8 he will swallow up death for ever.

The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears

    from all faces;

he will remove his people’s disgrace

    from all the earth.

The Lord has spoken.

9 In that day they will say,

‘Surely this is our God;

    we trusted in him, and he saved us.

This is the Lord, we trusted in him;

    let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.’ (Isaiah 25:1,4,8,9 NIV)

 

A good song takes me on a journey outside myself. Some songs on the radio sound like my life, when things go wrong or right. A song of praise lifts my spirit into a place of gratitude and blessing. In a song of praise, I’m reminded of how big God is and how small I am. I also think a song of praise expresses things in ways that words can’t necessarily touch. I love this song by Third Day call “Sing A Song”.

Pressing On!
