“I Will Hope” is the title song of my new book. It is based on Psalm 71, and is a beautiful, reassuring reminder of the faithfulness of God.
Lyrics:
His goodness and His truth
Have kept me since my youth,
He is the great Redeemer of my soul.
His works I will declare,
His goodness I will share,
The honor of His name is my life’s goal.
I will hope in my God continually.
I will trust in His faithfulness to me.
He’s my Rock, my strong refuge,
His righteousness I praise.
I will hope, I will sing,
Of my Savior and my King,
I will hope, I will sing,
All my days.
Though evil men abound,
And enemies surround,
When others say that hope is almost gone,
Though troubles may oppress,
In Him I can find rest,
And be renewed with strength to carry on.
I will hope in my God continually.
I will trust in His faithfulness to me.
He’s my Rock, my strong refuge,
His righteousness I praise.
I will hope, I will sing,
Of my Savior and my King,
I will hope, I will sing,
All my days.”

“But I will hope continually, And will yet praise thee more and more. My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed.” (Psalm 71:14, 15, 23 )

“Behold the Blood”
1. Impending death, a final plague,
Yet, mercy offered an escape,
A firstling slain, blood crimson red,
Upon the door, to Death was said:
“Behold the blood, behold the grace,
Behold the lamb slain in my place,
Death’s shadow can pass over me,
The blood applied has set me free!
Redeeming love,
Atoning flood,
Behold the blood.”
2. Into the wilderness they fled,
God’s people out of Egypt led,
“All God commands, we will obey,”
But Moses said to them that day,
“Behold the blood, behold the grace,
Behold the one slain in your place,
Before the law you will not stand,
But blood can cover its demand.
Redeeming love,
Atoning flood,
Behold the blood.”
3. Then once a year, the high priest went,
Into the holiest was sent,
And on the mercy seat within,
The sprinkled blood atoned for sin.
Behold the blood, behold the grace,
Behold the one slain in your place,
Your sin forgiven, purified,
The holy God is satisfied.
Redeeming love,
Atoning flood,
Behold the blood.”
4. Upon the cross, He hung in shame,
God’s perfect Lamb for sinners slain,
And as the blood poured from His side,
“It is finished,” Jesus cried!
Behold the blood, behold the grace,
Behold the Lamb slain in our place,
On Heaven’s mercy seat applied,
The wrath of God is satisfied,
Redeeming love,
Atoning flood,
Behold the blood.
5. Christ rose triumphant from the grave,
With pow’r each sinful soul to save.
Our great High Priest and sacrifice
Has once for all paid sin’s full price!
Behold the blood, behold the grace,
Behold the Lamb slain in your place,
On your account can be applied
The wrath of God be satisfied,
Redeeming love,
Atoning flood,
Behold the blood.
6. He heard my cry and cleansed my sin,
The day I placed my faith in Him,
When the accuser comes my way,
I look to heav’n and humbly say,
"Behold the blood, behold the grace,
Behold the Lamb slain in my place,
On my account has been applied
The wrath of God been satisfied,
Redeeming love,
Atoni

“Thou crownest the year with thy goodness…” (Ps. 65:11)
Looking back, I know this is true by experience.
Looking forward, I know this is true by faith.
Not every circumstance we will encounter in the coming year will be good, but God’s goodness will be present in every circumstance.
I am certain that I will not always be good or do good in the year to come, but I am certain that “the goodness of God endureth continually”.
If we know the Lord, our years, our days, our moments, are encompassed by an eternal God who is always, only good. In that truth, we can find hope, peace, purpose, and joy.
Psalms 103:4 “Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;”
Psalms 5:12 “For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.”
Psalm 27:13 “I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.”
Psalm 31:19 “Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!”
Psalm 107:8, 15, 21, 31 “Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
II Thes. 1:11-12 “Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
May the Lord bless you in the coming year!

This old hymn is so simple, but the words come back to me often, especially that line, “And how much I love thee my actions will show.” Do I love Him? How I should! My life will show far more than my words will say. #piano #hymns #spiritualsongs
