I regret to inform you that yesterday's post will be the last one at New Songs from the Heart. Starting January 2014, I am discontinuing that series to concentrate on my primary blog, Strength for the Weary, which focuses on Biblical encouragement for those with special "joy challenges." You can sign up by way of the above link, for semimonthly words of hope--and the occasional poem.
Thank you all!

God "put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise" (Ps. 40:3, NIV); so said King David. Since "out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks" (Mt. 12:34), God no doubt put the song in David's heart first--as He still puts new songs in the hearts of His poets. The Bible story is timeless, but we never run out of ways to tell it. And poetry and music have a way of touching the soul at depths prose rarely can reach. I hope this blog will put a few new songs in other hearts as well.
