Not Be Silent

This psalm, updated to our relationship with Jesus Christ, God the Son, is a psalm of thanksgiving and praise for all that God has done for us in providing salvation for us from sin through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, and through his resurrection. He delivered us from our ultimate destiny of hell, and emptiness, and slavery to sin, and he healed our hearts and souls and gave us new lives in Christ Jesus through our faith in him as our Lord (master) and Savior. He turned our weeping into joy!

When we were outside of faith in Jesus Christ and still in bondage to sin and selfishness, we could not see God, and we did not recognize our need of Christ. We were self-sufficient and felt secure where we were. Yet, Jesus Christ, by his love and mercy, forgave us, and we, by faith, now stand confident in Him. By his grace he set us free! Amen! And, because of all that he did for us and he continues to do on behalf of those who love him, we give him thanks and praise and honor and glory. We should be so filled up in our spirits with joy that we cannot hold it inside, but we must sing of his praises and share his gospel always.

 Not Be Silent / An Original Work / December 3, 2012

Based off Psalm 30

O Lord my God,

I’ll exalt You.

I called for help,

And You healed me.

O Lord my God,

You brought me from the grave.

You spared me from hell.

Sing to the Lord,

You saints of His;

Praise His holy name today.

Weeping may

Remain for a night;

Joy at break of day.

Our debt He did pay!

O Lord my God,

I said, “I will

Ne’er be shaken.”

Secure, I felt.

O Lord my God,

You forgave me.

Confident I stand in You.

When I could not see

Your face I was dismayed.

I called to You.

O Lord, You are my help.

You were merciful to me;

By Your grace set free!

O Lord my God,

I’m so thankful for

Salvation through my Jesus.

You turned wailing

Into dancing;

Clothed me with

Your joy today,

That my heart may sing

To You and not be silent.

Praise Your name.

O Lord my God,

I will give you

thanks forevermore.

My Lord, I adore!
