Desert, 3.

5. Resolved, to sing to the LORD a new song, for My Help and My Deliverer drew me up from the desert pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a solid rock, making my steps sure; He put a new song in my mouth and He will surely always renew the song of the redeemed.


I pray in the song words of a man redeemed, William Cowper:

ever since by faith i saw the stream His flowing wounds supply

redeeming Love has been my theme
and shall be till i die
and shall be till i die
and shall be till i die
redeeming Love has been my theme
and shall be till i die

then in a nobler! sweeter! song! i'll sing His power to save

when my poor lisping, stammering tongue
lies silent in the grave
lies silent in the grave
lies silent in the grave
then in a nobler! sweeter! song!
i'll sing His power to save

LORD i believe you have prepared, unworthy though i be,
for me a blood-bought free reward--a golden lyre for me!
it's strung and tuned for endless years and formed by power divine,
to sound in God the Father’s ears no other name but Thine!
