New Songs from the Heart

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.
