Passion for Praise: 'A New Song to Sing'

Thursday, January 12, 2006

He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.
— Psalm 30:2-3
