Singing.....a sign of inner joy

Psalm 147:1 Praise the LORD. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!

These Lyrics I've been singing in my head all day and just thought I'd share with you......

What does it mean to be saved
Isn’t it more than just a prayer to pray
More than just a way to Heaven

What does it mean to be His
To be formed in His likeness
Know that we have a purpose

To be salt and light in the world In the world
To be salt and light in the world

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Say so say so

Oh that the Church would arise
Oh that we would see with Jesus’ eyes
We could show the world Heaven

Show what it means to be His
To be formed in His likeness
Show them they have a purpose

I am redeemed
I am redeemed
Let the redeemed of the Lord rise up!!!


Wow....have you ever read these words and just let them sink in? I know we sing this song on Sundays, but have you ever just meditated on the words your singing?? As I am singing these lyrics today....over and over again (ya know how it is when you have a song stuck in your head). Well these words began to open up my heart to their meaning. We sing praises to Him out of the joy of our heart in thanksgiving and adoration to Him.

This song says....It's more than just a prayer and a way to Heaven. We are formed in His likeness and he has created us with a purpose.

Why do I sing? Because my God has given me life. He has given me a reason to live and through his Son Jesus Christ I have be Redeemed! Praise you Jesus for loving me enough. So I sing out of the joy in my heart for a God who loves me and even though I'm not worthy of this love he loves me anyway! How could I not sing?? He loves me enough!! I don't know about you, but that is alone is enough for me!

Sing His praises for the world to hear!! Arise oh church, Arise!! Show them the love he has shown you! What does it mean to be his?? Show them....show them THEY have a purpose. See them through the eyes of Jesus let the compassion he has for them overflow out of you. We could show them heaven. What a gift to give.......to show someone the pure love of Jesus!

Go, be the salt and light! Do not cover your lamp stand! Bring the light to the WORLD!

He's worth it isn't he.....

LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO!!
