Sings My Soul
Where would we be without Jesus? He is no doubt the most incredible gift to us all! Our Heavenly Father saw fit to place upon His Son all of our sins and transgressions so that we might be free. That concept alone should evoke such a sense of gratitude and joy, knowing that we can be completely free of the weight of sin and the shame that comes from our failures.
With that said, there are too many of us that still live with the guilt and shame of our past. The enemy likes to remind us of the mistakes of our past and place condemnation upon us that sometimes causes us to sink into a sense of despair. We may then be tempted to give up on pursuing the life of righteousness that is available to us. We may be lured into believing that we are a “hopeless case” and live in compromise instead of embracing the completed work of Christ on the cross. Jesus made a way for us all to walk in complete freedom from sin and it is ours for the taking. All we need is a little faith. That is why worship is such an integral part of a Christian’s lifestyle.
When we worship, we focus. When we focus, we are able to see more clearly. When we worship God, we can see Him more clearly. When we see Him more clearly, then we can let distractions, such as our past, fade into the background where they become blurry and difficult to see. Now, instead of focusing on our shortcomings, we see with greater clarity the attributes of our Great God. I love the line in this song that says “My heart need wander no longer, for in Your grace I shall stay. I am reconciled to Heaven, now forever to praise.” We can focus not only on the great things that God has done for us and his matchless character, but we can also focus on where we are headed – heaven!
I know that over the years imagining heaven and how glorious it will be has helped me to let go of my focus on the current difficulties I am facing. Worship also helps me turn my affection towards God and somehow it has helped the negative emotions become overcome by deep gratitude. It has this amazing power to lift you up out of the dark feelings that can be overwhelming and have a heart instead that gets flooded with hope and light. As the song continues, it encourages us to declare, “Sings my soul, sings my soul. The song from my heart overflows.” The work of Christ overflows to us today. It is complete. It is for everyone. Let us today receive by faith the freedom that Jesus has provided and turn our worship to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith!
