My son wrote a song called Song 42 based on scripture taken from Psalm 42—tricky, huh? The song is beautiful and after I listened to the song 442 times, I went and read Psalm 42…..and began to weep. Like a baby. I’ve read Psalm 42 many times before and have always loved it. But it’s different when you see how your children might translate that word into a song. I think the girls and I (the little ones that I homeschool) will have to add this psalm to our list of ones to memorize. I’ll never read it the same again. Every time I read those precious words I will hear my son’s voice in my head singing this:
I will say a prayer to the God who gives me life
I will say to God my rock, Lord I love you
And I am thirsty, thirsty for the living God
Where can I meet Him?
Tears have been my food day and night
I long to serve him
Where can I meet Him?
During the day the Lord sends his love to me
During the night I wil sing songs about Him
I will say a prayer to the God who gives me life
I will say to God my rock , Lord I love you
When the world comes down on me
and questions “Where is your God?”
I will say, He lives inside of me
During the day the Lord sends His love to me
During the night I will sing songs about Him
I will say a prayer to the God who gives me life
I will say to God my rock, Lord I love you
Lord I love you
Lord I love you.
Now for a double blessing, read Psalm 42.
