As we begin our Psalms series we’ll be looking at how the Psalmists display a wide variety of emotions and theological topics, but a few themes can be seen throughout. Things like depending on God, praising him for what he is done, finding satisfaction in God, overcoming fear, and longing for ultimate deliverance are just a few.
Our new song, “The Lord, My God, My Salvation”, (click for link) calls us to praise God for what he has done in verse 1, come to him for satisfaction and rest in verse 2, and anticipate his return and ultimate deliverance in verse 3. The refrain of the chorus, “I will trust and not be afraid” constantly reminds us of our proper response. He is worthy of all our trust, and when we truly trust him and realize that he is the only stable thing, our fears will be assuaged. Find the lyrics below, and don’t forget to check out the worship playlists here!
Verse 1
Sing praise for what the Lord has done
Who freely gave his Son
To be our sacrifice
By His grace, greater than all my sin,
I stand no more condemened
Washed in the blood of Christ
CHORUS:
The Lord, my God and my salvation.
I will call upon His name
The Lord, my God and my salvation.
I will trust and not be afraid
I will trust and not be afraid
Verse 2
Sing praise and drink from the Well of Life
Drink deeply and without price
And never thirst again
For there is rest for the weary soul
And peace that overflows For all who come to Him.
CHORUS
Verse 3
Sing praise and shout for joy in all the earth
As we await the King’s return
Who is making all things new
In that day every tear shall be wiped away
And with one voice we’ll say,
“All glory be to you”.
CHORUS
The Lord, my God and my salvation.
I will call upon His name
The Lord, my God and my salvation.
I will trust and not be afraid
I will trust and not be afraid
CHORUS 2:
The Lord, my God and my salvation.
He is my song and my strength.
The Lord, my God and my salvation
I will trust and not be afraid
I will trust and not be afraid
