Seize the Moment – Day 1404

Today’s worship song focus will be

Lavish

 

Psalm 23:1-2 (NASB95)

 

                                                           

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside quiet waters.”       

 

Written and released in 2017 by Francesca Battistelli, Jeremy Redmon & Mike Weaver, it is easy to see that this song is based upon Psalm 23. It’s important to remember that before we had hymn books, the early church sang the scriptures. Just read through the book of Psalms and see the description of the chapters where it says “To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David” (Psalm 5). In fact, the word ‘psalm’ means a sacred song or hymn, especially one in which expressions of praise and thanksgiving are prominent.*

 

You are my shepherd, I shall not want.    

You make me lie down in green pastures.     

You lead me beside still waters

You restore my soul

 

We need to wake up each day with a song of praise in our hearts and on our lips. Think about how much better your day would go if you did this instead of grumbling at the alarm clock. God loves you and wants you to always have the best day, even when it may be dark and gloomy. Can you think of a better way to start your day?

Lavish

 

You are my shepherd, I shall not want
You make me lie down in green pastures
You lead me beside still waters
You restore my soul

And though I walk through the valley
I won’t fear death’s shadow
Because I know You are with me

And the banner that’s over me
Is the love that has set me free
‘Cause You lavish Your love
You lavish Your love on me
And Your love conquers all my fear
Because Jesus You’re always near
‘Cause You lavish Your love
You lavish Your love on me

You pour out Your Spirit ’til I overflow
With peace in the midst of my trouble
You’re more than enough for my struggle
You are all I need

And though I walk through the valley
I won’t fear death’s shadow
Because I know You are with me

And the banner that’s over me
Is the love that has set me free
You lavish Your love
You lavish Your love on me
And Your love conquers all my fear
Because Jesus You’re always near
Oh You lavish Your love
You lavish Your love on me

Goodness and mercy will follow me all of my days
And I’ll make my home in Your presence now and always
Goodness and mercy will follow me all of my days
And I’ll make my home in Your presence now and always

And the banner that’s over me
Is the love that has set me free
‘Cause You lavish Your love
You lavish Your love on me
And Your love conquers all my fear
Because Jesus You’re always near
‘Cause You lavish Your love
You lavish Your love on me
‘Cause You lavish Your love
You lavish Your love on me
‘Cause You lavish Your love
You lavish Your love on me
