Fresh Opportunity (what music to our ears)

Ps.34:1-5

I will bless the Lord at all times;

His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;

The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

Oh, magnify the Lord with me,

And let us exalt His name together.

I sought the Lord, and He heard me,

And delivered me from all my fears.

They looked to Him and were radiant,

And their faces were not ashamed.

(Read the rest of this glorious Psalm HERE)

Behold, the fealty that rends the eastward veil...

And overflows eternity with love that cannot fail...

Fresh opportunity, what music to our ears

In the Light of mercy renewed the darkness disappears

To kindle souls with hope, to praise the Name of He

Who overflows each morning with fresh opportunity

Fresh opportunity to press toward The Prize

To keep the faith that guards the heart from crafty compromise

To leave the past behind on Bygone’s topmost shelf

Then with purpose more kind, to love our neighbor as ourself

Fresh opportunity to find our rightful place

Not to judge one another but to serve with love and grace

And leave to God all that belongs to Him alone

Remembering the price He paid our sin-wage to atone

Fresh opportunity to wonder at God’s world

And count the ways that fill our gaze with majesty unfurled

And then with gladdened souls, let wonderment instill

A deeper, truer confidence to trust His perfect will

Fresh opportunity to forgive and release

The bitterness that robs our would-be happiness of peace

Then as we plead for more love and more yielded hearts

Almost the earth beneath us trembles with joy He imparts

Fresh opportunity to pause before we bound

Across the threshold of Today to trample holy ground

To take His Word to light the path of yet-to-be

To thank the Lord who grants today’s fresh opportunity

Behold, the fealty that rends the eastward veil

And overflows eternity with love that cannot fail

Ah, what more should we want than to unite hope’s voice

In worship to our God who grants fresh reason to rejoice

Our God will never fail mankind; mankind fails He

Whose great love lavishes us with faultless Intimacy 

And, though we oft forget to thank Him as we trod

Behold, fresh opportunity streams from the hand of God 

Fresh opportunity to plant for morrow-years

Fresh opportunity to cry 'speak Lord, Thy servant hears'

Fresh opportunity to give more than we take

Fresh opportunity to live and love For His Name's Sake

Amen
