What’s Your Song? April 13 2023

 The sound of Jesus’ death thunderously split earth, tore through religion, and climaxed with the death-defying salvation symphony of Easter morning. He is risen, and we’ve never stopped singing about it. 

The once profane, slave-trading sailor, John Newton, heard the reverberating, life-changing sounds of Easter and was remade into the anti-slavery song-writer of Amazing Grace.

Joseph Scriven lost the love of his life, twice, then went on to cut wood and work sometimes for no wages, to help the widows, the sick, and the underserved around him. Despite life’s deafening pains, He also heard that sweet sound of salvation and wrote, What a Friend We Have in Jesus. 

On his father’s cotton farm, Albert E. Brumley began humming along with salvation’s tune. Because of Jesus, everyone can sing and believe the eternal hope of I’ll Fly Away. 

And if Horatio Spafford can look down at the ocean that stole his four children, and then in the same boat look lovingly up to the God who welcomed them home, then we can all sing his song, It Is Well with My Soul.  

So here is some questions I want to ask you...

What’s your song? What has He taught you to say? What makes you sing?
How have the sounds of Easter reached into your life and changed you? 

You don’t have to be a song writer or a poet. Just write down what God’s done. Everyone has a song in their heart.

Psalm 33:3; tells us, "Sing to him a new song..."

And Psalm 40:3; says, "He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God..."

So write down your song. Then find a quiet place, and read it and better yet, sing it, back to God.

Add your words to the symphony of salvation, and if you do, our good and gracious Father will be saying, “How sweet the sound.”
