Psalms, hymns, and Spiritual Songs.

~ Psalm 100:1-2 ~
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
     Serve the Lord with gladness!
    Come into his presence with singing!

The first week, I posted a spiritual song, "All I Have Is Christ."  Then, I posted a hymn, "A Debtor To Mercy Alone." This week, I am posting a psalm—Psalm 73 by Indelible Grace Music. The words are an adaptation of the biblical psalm put to contemporary music.


Surely God is good 
To all the pure in heart 
But as for me, my feet had almost slipped 
I nearly lost my grip 
For I envied, the arrogant 
They are free, from my burdens

Surely I, in vain, 
Have kept my, my heart pure 
And surely they are strong and free from trials 
While I am so confused 
Then I entered Your holy place 
Then I saw their destiny

Surely, they’re cast down 
As those on slippery ground 
As dreams fade when we wake, so they become 
Completely swept away 
In my heart I was arrogant 
Like a beast before You

Yet always You are near 
You guide me by Your Word 
And always, my Lord God, You are my strength 
My portion You will be 
You’re my refuge, my Sovereign Lord 
I will sing of Your awesome deeds

You’'re my refuge, my Sovereign Lord 
I will sing of Your awesome deeds
