A New Song
_________________________________________________________________
It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-32
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
Psalm 95:2
…be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
Ephesians 5:18–20
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12:28-29

Gratitude (a work-in-progress)
If Your Love were the moon
And this shoreline my gratitude
And were the ocean Your grace
Would the tides mark the space
Between fear and doubt
And the faith to ride out
These waves
To write in the sand
All the reasons I am
Grateful
And if the sun brought the truth
Could I stand in the light
Or would the sins of my youth
Put me to flight
Would I run to deep waters
Drown in Your embrace
To be reborn to walk out
Of Lazarus’ grave
To write again in the sand
All the reasons I am
Grateful
