SING O SING

INTRO
The words of the prophet say that God is looking our way,
Rejoicing over us with singing;
Let’s so live our lives before the One whom we adore
To give Him more reasons to sing.

CHORUS
Sing O sing, Lord: Sing, yes Lord sing;
Sing a song of joy over us.
Sing O sing, Lord: Sing, yes Lord sing;
Sing a song of joy over us.

VERSE
Let your Anointing set our spirits free; Pour your oil of joy on me
Rejoice over us with singing.
Let our worship be forever new; May our lives bring joy to you;
Rejoice over us with song.

CHORUS
Sing O sing, Lord: Sing, yes Lord sing;
Sing a song of joy over us.
Sing O sing, Lord: Sing, yes Lord sing;
Sing a song of joy over us.

BRIDGE
I want to please you, O Lord, as I walk on this road;
To give you joy in what I do and say.
Without faith I know I can’t please you at all
So come release your faith deep within, I pray.

Sing O sing, Lord: Sing, yes Lord sing.
Sing a song of joy over us.
Sing O sing, Lord: Sing, yes Lord sing.
Sing a song of joy over us.

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁷ The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”

I was deeply affected by a sermon preached from this text one Sunday in 1989.  It challenged my thoughts all day, and that evening as I set up the church for our evening service up in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges, the chorus and main verse flowed out from my heart in song.  This has been the theme song of my life ever since.  I know I have MANY times failed God, and those I love, but the cry of my heart is to live a life that is so deeply pleasing to God that He would rejoice in song over me.
