A Psalm of Gratitude

To the Champion of our souls!

I'm grateful God, that You are real, that I need not fret o'er how I feel!

In faith I firmly will proclaim, Complete deliverance in His Name!

Knowing, when all around seems worse, I'm still redeemed from sin's dark curse!

In faith, I prove that I believe, when I stand, determined to receive,

all He purchased on the cross. Why should I suffer debt and loss?

A Champion came to set me free, Why not proclaim my liberty!

And though I can not touch it yet, I KNOW I'm free from sin's cursed debt,

I'm healed, in body, mind and soul, so all my cares on HIM I'll roll!

All pain or sorrow I'll cast on Him, all doubt and fear His Light will dim!

His faithful Spirit works into me - His Word, so I can be made free!

So I press in, by His good grace, into His presence - the Secret Place;

Where safety, love and beauty reigns, to wipe away all tearful strains,

So He can gently teach us how we can bring Him Glory now!

I rejoice because He sent His Son, His champion, who fought and won

Salvation, Peace and Liberty, for all bound in captivity!

And since I know this truth is real – it does not matter how I feel!

Up or down, or good or bad, ecstatically happy, or desperately sad,

it doesn't really change a thing, Yeshua's won! He still is King!

And I, His grateful subject basks, in the knowledge that I can but ask,

In faith, that what I ask, He'll do! So right now I am asking! How about you?

Shalom, Chavarim!
