He Keeps Me Singing
Author: Luther B. Bridgers
Scripture: Psalm 40:1,3
I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry.
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.
Hymn lyrics:
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.
Refrain
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 slumbering chords again.
Refrain
Feasting on the riches of His grace,
Resting ’neath His sheltering wing,
Always looking on His smiling face,
That is why I shout and sing.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
Today's thoughts:
It has been said "to smile and keep everyone wondering..." But instead of people wondering, let us joyfully sing of God's praise so they will know we are feasting on the riches of His grace, resting 'neath His sheltering wing. Singing of God's love and grace is a wonderful way to brighten the day.
