Psalm 40:2-3 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
[3] And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
Several years ago a lady told me how for some time she searched for something to satisfy her soul.
One day she found a hymn book and read the beautiful words on each page. It led her to a church where she got saved.
There is power in the anointed words of gospel songs.
I’m thankful for the songs in my heart, placed there by the grace of a great God?
He Keeps Me Singing
____________________________________
There's within my heart a melody; — Jesus whispers sweet and low, — “Fear not, I am with thee peace be still,” — In all of life's ebb and flow.
CHORUS:
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus; — Sweetest name I know, — Fills my ev'ry longing, — Keeps me singing as I go.
All my life was wrecked by sin and strife; — Discord filled my heart with pain. — Jesus swept across the broken strings, — Stirred the slumb'ring chords again.
Feasting on the riches of His grace; — Resting 'neath His shelt'ring wing. — Always looking on His smiling face, — That is why I shout and sing.
Tho' sometimes He leads through waters deep, — trials fall a cross the way. — Tho' sometimes the path seems rough and steep, — See His foootprints all the way.
Soon His coming back to welcome me, — Far beyond the starry sky. — I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown; — I shall reign with Him on high.
