May the gospel
of Christ give us the hope we need to not only endure but to sing this song of
confidence to our Savior.
Looking
Backward: Promised Salvation (verses
1-3)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2040:1-3&version=NIV
Looking
backward we can recall when God delivered us. Christ, the everlasting rock of
divine faithfulness, forgave our sins and saved us from the muck of this world.
We now sing a hymn of praise to our God.
As we wait patiently for You, Lord our
God, You hear our cries. Thank You for lifting us out of the slimy pit, out of
the mud and mire. Thank You for setting our feet on Christ the Rock. We sing a
hymn of praise to You our God. May many see and fear You and put their trust in
You.
Looking
Upward: God’s Protection (verses
4-5)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2040:4-5&version=NIV
May
our past experiences of God’s grace cause us to look up and trust His
protection for our present and future. May the false gods of materialism not
lead us astray.
Protecting God, we make You our trust.
Many are the wonders You have done. None can compare with You. Help us to tell
of Your deeds, though they are too many to declare.
