The Savior is Singing o'er me

"The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing." Zephaniah 3:17

Having pondered this passage from time to time, it occurred to me while listening to a message preached by Reddit Andrews that my Savior was singing o'er me through the preaching of His Word. I cannot recall the content of the message, and perhaps some of it has to do with God's particular design for me, but there in the midst of worship it was as though the sermon had taken on the sound of music as Christ was exalted in His Beauty, for He has put a new song in my heart, even praise unto our God, many shall see it and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

As I think back over the last few years of my own life, God has used many of His servants, here below and those who have gone before us, to sound His praise and to exalt the glory of Christ through the faithful preaching of His Word--of which I trust He has used not only to bring forth the fruit of a life that has been changed for His glory; but, continues to be manifest in new songs and poems.

The Savior is singing o'er me.
His Word being preached joyfully.
With reverence projecting His Great Majesty,
My Savior is singing o'er me.
With reverence projecting His Great Majesty,
My Savior is singing o'er me.

On now hear His voice,
Who has made you His choice.
This grace upon us He has showered.
For His life He did give,
For His glory we live,
By His Spirit we now are empowered.

The Savior is singing o'er me.
His Word being preached faithfully.
God in man as He sits at the Father's right hand,
Interceding for all He commands.

Sometimes with rebukes
And sometimes with reproofs,
He speaks as He knows all my heart.
And yet patiently
As His love sets me free,
And from Him I shall never depart.

The Savior is singing o'er me.
His Word being preached joyfully.
With reverence projecting His Great Majesty,
My Savior is singing o'er me.
With reverence projecting His Great Majesty,
My Savior is singing o'er me.

With those gone before
We shall never ignore.
His sweet counsel He speaks from above.
Because of His cross
We will count all else loss,
As He answers all things in His love.

The Savior is singing o'er me.
His Word being preached faithfully.
God in man as He sits at the Father's right hand,
Interceding for all He commands.
