Psalm 40:3 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.
David had every reason to praise the Lord for saving his life, but it was God who placed that song within his heart.
How many times has God given you just the right song when you needed it most?
I praise the Lord for His music.
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 every 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.
Though sometimes He leads through waters deep, — Trials fall across the way, — Though sometimes the path seems rough and steep, — See His footprints all the way.
Soon He’s 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.
Luther B. Bridgers 1910
