Focus on God’s Goodness-New Song

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Focus on God’s Goodness is found in Psalm 40, verse 3.

“He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.”

The theme of our music has a way of changing when the throne of our heart belongs to Jesus.

Music is a gift from the Lord that enables us to express our love and gratitude to God for His marvelous grace. God put a new song in the heart of John Newton, who wrote the well-known hymn, “Amazing Grace.”  That hymn has endured through many generations and reflects the miracle of new life in Christ.

“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.”

The New Song that comes from God reveals the goodness of God and is a reason to give thanks in the Year of Gratitude.
