Tell Me Again

There are days when I desperately need to be reassured of the Lord's love and care for me.  I think David must have had the same need, because I found a verse (Psalm 35:3) where he pleads with God, "Say to my soul, 'I am your salvation.'"  I am relieved to know it's okay to ask Him to tell me again. . . and again.

It was that verse, along with some others that reassure me of His love, that inspired the song lyrics below.

Though the music is recorded on my piano; I just haven't had time to record the words with it yet so I can share it.  But maybe you'd like to ponder already the words and the verses that inspired them.

May your soul, too, be made steadfast in His love.


Verse 1
Say it again to my soul,
“I am your salvation!”                Psalm 35:3
My only hope is in You, alone;   Psalm 62:1,2,5-8; Psalm 71:5
O LORD, be my helper.              Psalm 30:10


Chorus
Who is God, but the LORD?
Who is a Rock, except our God?           Psalm 18:31
You are God; there’s no one like you.   Jeremiah 10:6; Ps. 86:8
There is no rock like our God!               Isaiah 44:6-8
He rides the heavens to my rescue,
Through the skies in His majesty.         Deut. 33:26
Eternal Father, You’re my refuge,
And underneath are Your everlasting arms!  Deut. 33:27
              
Verse 2
Say it again to my soul,
“Cast your every care on Me.”        Psalm 55:22; I Peter 5:7
You’re never weak, never weary;    Isaiah 40:28
And I know you care for me.          I Peter 5:7


Chorus
Who is God, but the LORD?
Who is a Rock, except our God?           Psalm 18:31
You are God; there’s no one like you.   Jeremiah 10:6; Ps. 86:8
There is no rock like our God!               Isaiah 44:6-8
He rides the heavens to my rescue,
Through the skies in His majesty.         Deut. 33:26
Eternal Father, You’re my refuge,
And underneath are Your everlasting arms!  Deut. 33:27
              
Bridge
He bowed the heavens and came down;
Sped upon the wings of the wind…
He rescued me because He delighted in me!  Psalm 18:9,10,19

  1. What a good prayer song! Have I heard the melody yet? If not, I can't wait. I had completely forgotten about Deuteronomy 33:26. Such a picture to keep in our minds of how much and how powerfully The LORD cares and provides for us and our security in Him! The words of the song remind me of part of Hannah's prayer in 1 Samuel 2:2--"There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides You; there is no Rock like our God." (NIV) Mom
