Which is more godly? The old hymns of the faith? Or the praise choruses of today? I believe that’s the wrong question. The question Scripture begs us to answer is this. Which songs enable the word of Christ to “dwell in us richly” as we sing “psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in our hearts to God” (Col. 3:16)? Last Sunday we learned a new song written by Chris Tomlin called “All the Way My Savior Leads Me”. Tomlin takes the verse lyrics from an old Fanny Crosby hymn by the same name, rewrites the melody and adds a new chorus:
You lead me, and keep me from falling
You carry me close to Your heart
And surely your goodness and mercy will follow me
I love how the chorus reminds us of our security as son and daughters of God. He is holy. He is mighty. His glory fills the heavens. Yet he is near to those who call on him and gently leads us all our days. May God use these lyrics to fill our hearts with gratitude for the Savior who makes relationship with the King of Glory possible for you and me!
