“Made Me Glad” – Musical Musings in March (Sabbatical Post)

 

We are coming to the end of Musical Musings in March. I have decided to share the Easter message beginning with Sunday’s post, so we have five more days to sing music together.

 

CCI have the days planned and two of the five are songs written by Darlene Zschech of Hillsong. What can I say? Their lyrics and music is moving. Both physically and spiritually. Their music draws me closer to Jesus and they also seem to say exactly what I am feeling. So I will continue to praise this group for their music.

 

Today I’ve chosen their song, “Made Me Glad.” It doesn’t matter where I am when I hear it, I stop and sing and worship God. If possible, I restart the song…perhaps multiple times. That’s how moved I am by this song.

 

I am touched by this song because of the multiple messages held within its lyrics. Praising God for all He’s done. Never having to be fearful because He is always with me. Standing firm in my faith.

 

And it continues. Enjoying all that God provides. Protection. Strength. Fulfillment. Sustenance. Help. Joy.

 

Yes, I love this song for its message. So let’s read through and listen to this song and as we do, let’s bask in God’s great love for us. There is nothing, there is no one who can satisfy like God.

 

“Made Me Glad”

 

I will bless the Lord forever
I will trust Him at all times
He has delivered me from all fear
He has set my feet upon a rock
I will not be moved
And I’ll say of the Lord

You are my Shield, my Strength
My Portion Deliverer
My Shelter, Strong tower
My very present help in time of need

Whom have I in heaven but You
There’s none I desire beside You
You have made me glad
And I’ll say of the Lord

You are my Shield, my Strength
My Portion Deliverer
My Shelter, Strong tower
My very present help in time of need[i]

“For you make me glad by your deeds, O Lord; I sing for joy at the works of your hands.” (Psalm 92:4 – NIV)

 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
