A Song Of Praise To Our God + Midweek Update
Good morning Immanuel. The grace of God is the soundtrack of the saints.
“He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.” (Psalm 40:3)
The fruit of God’s mercy and grace in David’s life was a song of praise in David’s mouth. The same pattern is true of us today. The grace of God is the soundtrack of the saints. The Apostle Paul echoes this theme in Ephesians when he says that our salvation is “to the praise of his glorious grace.” God’s redemption produces people who are spring-loaded with praise back to God because of His mercy. So whether you are black or white, young or old, male or female, near or far, believers share a common redemption and a common song— the song of God’s goodness and mercy for the undeserving. Anyone can get in on this!
“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.” - John Newton
-
”The Lord has provided atonement Through faith in the Lamb we receive
And we cannot boast for one moment It’s only by grace we believe
We’re seated in heavenly places United with Jesus our King
God’s kindness in all coming ages Will cause us to worship and sing” - Shai Linne & Leah Smith
