The fifth psalm, Psalm 5, is
addressed to the chief musician upon Nehilov, the psalm of David, and opens as follows. Give ear
to my words, O Lord. Consider my meditation. Hearken
unto the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for unto Thee
will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the
morning, O Lord. In the morning will I direct
my prayer unto thee, and will look up. For thou art not a God
that hath pleasure in wickedness. Neither shall evil dwell with
thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight. Thou hatest all
workers of iniquity. Thou shalt destroy them that
speak leasing. The Lord will abhor the bloody
and deceitful man. But as for me, I will come into
thy house in the multitude of thy mercy, and in thy fear will
I worship toward thy holy temple. Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness,
because of mine enemies. Make thy way straight before
my face, for there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their inward
part is very wickedness, their throat is an open sepulcher,
they flatter with their tongue. Destroy thou them, O God, let
them fall by their own counsels. Cast them out in the multitude
of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee.
Let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice. Let them
ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them. Let them also
that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, Lord, wilt
bless the righteous. With favour wilt thou compass
him as with a shield. The three. My voice shalt thou
hear in the morning, O Lord. In the morning will I direct
my prayer unto thee, and will look up. Verse 7 But as for me,
I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy, and
in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. My voice shalt
thou hear in the morning, O Lord. In the morning will I direct
my prayer unto thee, and will look up. in the morning stressed
twice in verse 3 now why? because the context of this whole
psalm is very much in the light of the resurrection and the morning
of the resurrection when Christ awoke from sleep when he awoke
from death when he rose up in the morning of the third day
and entered the temple, rose up in the temple of his body,
and all his people rose with him in the temple of his body
as one body in Christ, him the head and they the body, as one
body in Christ they rose up in newness of life and worshipped
the Lord their God. My voice shalt thou hear in the
morning, O Lord, In the morning will I direct my prayer unto
thee and will look up. As for me, I will come into thy
house in the multitude of thy mercy, and in thy fear will I
worship toward thy holy temple. This is the context of the whole
psalm. The people of God as one people in the body of Christ,
risen up in the temple, the body of Christ, to worship their God
forevermore. forevermore now psalm 3 and psalm
4 as we have seen are divided into three stanzas the third
of which very much has the resurrection in view but following on from
these two psalms which build up step by step to that day of
resurrection here we have psalm 5 and it's very much in the light
of the resurrection the whole psalm and it contrasts the man
in Christ and the man Christ Jesus who in the morning worships
his God. It contrasts the righteous man,
the living man with those who are wicked. We see as it were
the judgment of the world, the division between the goats
and the sheep, the elect and the wicked. We see the divide
between those who rise up with everlasting life in Christ to
worship him in his temple forevermore and those who have no faithfulness
in their mouth. whose inward part is very wickedness,
whose throat is an open sepulcher, who flatter with their tongue
those whom the Lord will destroy, those who will fall by their
own counsels, those who because of the multitude of their transgressions
have rebelled against Almighty God and in the end will know
what it is to enter everlasting darkness, death and destruction. There are two people in this
world. The one will rise up in the morning of the resurrection
in everlasting glory and the other will be resurrected unto
everlasting damnation. There is a resurrection to come.
And whenever you die, there comes a day when all men, women and
children will be resurrected bodily. And you will be resurrected
either to everlasting glory or everlasting destruction. This
psalm sets forth two people. But it sets them forth in the
light of this resurrection. My voice shalt thou hear. In the morning, O Lord, in the
morning will I direct my prayer unto thee and will look up. Where are you looking? Where are you looking? Where
is your prayer directed? To whom is your voice addressed? Who will hear your voice? Give ear to my words, O Lord.
Consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my
cry, my King and my God. For unto Thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the
morning, O Lord. Who will hear your voice? And on what ground do you expect
to be heard? When your last day comes upon
you and you pass from this world into the next, what will be your
plea? To whom will you cry and why
will you be heard? Well, Christ's cry and David's
cry and all God's people in Christ will cry unto the Lord And they
will say with the Lord Jesus, My voice shalt thou hear in the
morning, O Lord. In the morning will I direct
my prayer unto thee. To whom do you pray? In whom
is your hope? In whom do you glory? What do you know of the resurrection
of Jesus Christ? The psalm is addressed to the
chief musician upon Nehilov, the psalm of David. Again like
the last psalm, addressed to the chief musician, addressed to God, addressed to
the Son of God, who leads his people forth in
praise. But this psalm, unlike the last,
is addressed upon Nehilov. We saw psalm four was addressed
with six other psalms, seven in total on Neginov, which is
stringed instruments. But psalm five is the only psalm
to be addressed to the chief musician upon Nehilov. And Nehilov,
we understand, or as it were flutes, wind instruments. Instruments
bored through to be played with the breath. Wind instruments. And as wind instruments they
speak of life. The breath of life that's breathed
into us and breathed out. They speak of that newness of
life which comes in the resurrection. By nature we are dead in trespasses
and sins. But when Christ died for the
sins of his people and put them away and rose up with that people
on the third day, newness of life entered into them. The breath
of the Spirit of God was breathed into that people as one people. and they, as it were, breathe
out with him and the breath of that people in unison is played
through unto the chief musician upon Nehilov as this wonderful
chorus of flutes breathes through and plays their anthem of joy
and thanksgiving unto Almighty God. The breath echoes forth
from the life within, Nehilov. Now Nehilov was played amongst
the chorus of flutists in the temple, and it's in the temple
that this people as one bring forth their praise unto God.
A living people, alive forevermore, full of joy, full of praise,
and full of wonder. as they stand in awe and gaze
upon the Lamb of God, set in their midst, who laid down His
life, that they in Him might be risen again. He is risen. He is risen. He is risen is their
song forevermore. He is holy, holy, holy. He is
alive forevermore. To the chief musician, upon Nehilov. Nehilov. Give ear to my words, O Lord,
consider my meditation, hearken unto the voice of my cry, my
King and my God, for unto thee will I pray, my voice shalt thou
hear in the morning. O Lord, in the morning. This is the context of the whole
psalm. The morning, the resurrection,
the breath of life. Looking up unto a saviour. Looking up unto the Lord on high. In the morning. The morning is
when you awake. When you arise. When you look
up. When the night has passed. and the darkness has gone and
the light of the sun shines forth and the sun rises up into the
heavens in the morning in the morning it's when you cease to
sleep when you live when you rise up on a new day a new day
full of life full of vigour full of light. My voice shall I hear in the
morning, O Lord. In the morning will I direct
my prayer unto thee. This is the cry of David, who
looked in the morning to that God he knew gave him life. It's
the prayer of the saint, the child of God, who with every
morning looks up on a new day into the heavens to the God in
whom he trusts. But it's that prayer pictured
by the morning which centres his thought and mind upon a risen
saviour. Every morning that the Lord God
grants us, every day that comes forth, every passing of the night
and the rising up again of the sun is a daily reminder to us
that Christ has died and risen again and that in Christ We are
risen forevermore. In Christ we are alive forevermore. In Christ we have everlasting
eternal life. He is our righteousness. He is
our hope. He is our glory forevermore.
And in Christ he will hear us. My voice shalt thou hear in the
morning, O Lord. Far more than it being a reminder
to us, this is also an echo of the very words of Christ. When
He'd been laid in the grave, when He'd been nailed to the
tree, when all men had rejected Him, when He'd entered into the
darkness of death, and God laid upon Him the sins of His people,
and made him to be sin and judged him and slew him and slaughtered
his own son when he passed through the valley of the darkness when
he passed through the valley of the shadow of death when he
went through death itself for his people when he knew what
it was to be in the darkness in the depth of the night and
his father had turned his face and his father struck him and
pierced him and struck him through with the sword of divine righteousness
when the fires of God's wrath had poured upon his head and
he'd suffered that eternity in the span of three hours in the
darkness that eternal wrath of God for all the sins of all his
people throughout all time when he'd waded through the darkness He came on the third day, having
died, having been laid in the grave. He came on the third day,
very early in the morning, and he rose up. He rose up with newness
of life, and His people rose with Him, and His voice went
forth, and it rose up into the heavens, and it ascended into
glory, and it came into the ear of His Father. My voice shalt
thou hear in the morning, O Lordy Christ. and such was his faith
and his trust. He knew his father would receive
him and he knew his father would receive all his people in him.
He'd conquered sin, he'd conquered death, he'd conquered hell, he'd
brought in righteousness, he'd brought in everlasting life for
all his people. O the certainty, O the joy, O
the glory, my voice shout thou here in the morning, O Lord. Oh this man, this man, the second
man, the last Adam, was without sin, without spot, without blemish. Death would never come upon him
again. Having taken their sin, having
taken death, having swallowed it up in victory, it would never
come upon him. This morning was the beginning
of a day that shall never end. And if you've entered into this
morning, if you've risen up, O child of God, in this morning,
then you will rise up in a day that shall never end, a day in
which the sun will rise up to the heights and will never move.
He will always be in the heavens. He will always shine forth. There will always be light, hope
and righteousness forevermore. There will never be one sorrow,
one tear, one drop of iniquity. There will never be any sin which
enters into that place in which the Son dwells and in which you
dwell with Him. My voice shall go here in the
morning. In the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee
and will look up. Are you looking up? Are you looking
up by faith unto a Saviour who is risen, who is glorified, who
is sat upon a throne, who is in the heights of the day? The
wicked will not enter here. The wicked know nothing of this
day. The wicked know nothing of this
morning. The wicked's voice will never
be heard in this place. As the psalmist goes on to say,
for thou art not a god that have pleasure in wickedness. Neither
shall evil dwell with thee. Oh the contrast we see between
this day, this morning, this temple, this house. and those
who are outside. The foolish shall not stand in
thy sight. Thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Thou shalt destroy them that
speak leasing. The Lord will abhor the bloody
and deceitful man. Who are you amongst? Will your
voice in Christ be heard in the morning? Or are you amongst those
who have pleasure in wickedness? Are you one of those who are
full of evil? Are you foolish? Will you stand
in his sight or will you fall? Are you a worker of iniquity?
Or in Christ, are you a worker of righteousness? David says
in Christ, as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude
of thy mercy and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy
temple. By nature he could not, by nature
David could not enter into this place only Christ could. Christ can say as for me I will
come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy but the psalmist
David couldn't. He can only say this in Christ
because by nature he's just as the wicked. He's full of wickedness,
he's full of deceit, he was a fool. By nature God must destroy him. But God destroyed David as he
destroyed Saul, as he destroyed the sin of all his people. when
they were crucified with their saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.
When Christ died, God judged their sin. He took their wickedness,
he took their evil and he blotted it out. And because it was gone,
because it was taken away, they could say with Christ, as for
me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy,
and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. I could
not by nature, but because of Christ I can and I will, and
I will never be moved. In the morning my voice shall
be heard. Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness
because of mine enemies. Make thy way straight before
my face. For there is no faithfulness
in their mouth. Their inward part is very wickedness. Their throat is an open sepulcher. They flatter with their tongue. Destroy thou them, O God! Let
them fall by their own counsels. Cast them out in the multitude
of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee.
Just like you and just like I. We're rebels by nature. We're
rebels. There's no faithfulness in our
mouths. Our inward parts is very wickedness. Our throat is an open sepulcher. We flatter with our tongues.
We come before God with all of our religion, all of our profession,
claiming to love him. when we love ourselves and we
love the world. Claiming to serve him when we
serve our own glory. Claiming to have done all these
things for him when we've really done them to flatter ourselves
and to bring glory unto our own name. Everything we do by nature
in the name of religion, in the name of Jesus Christ even, all
that we do by nature is deceitful and wicked. There's no faithfulness
in our mouths. We say we worship God, we say
we love the Lord Jesus, we say we do this for his name, when
it's all for self. That's what marks man out. He
can be the most religious of men. and yet be full of deceit, full
of rebellion. Destroy thou them, O God, let
them fall by their own counsels. By our own wisdom we say this
is so and that is so and God will be pleased with me if I
do this or say that, but our own counsels will come upon our
heads to our judgment. Because by nature we never bow
down before God to own ourselves for what we are. We never say
truthfully that our inward part is very wickedness. We never
come to see ourselves as we truly are. That there's no good within
us. That there's nothing but death within us. That there's
no life. There's no faithfulness. That
God is just to destroy us utterly. But the child of God, like David,
when God speaks unto him through his gospel, is brought to see
the utter depravity of his own heart. He's brought to see that
there's nothing in him. There's nothing but death in
him. And if he's to live, there must be another who should take
away his sin. There must be another who should
wash him clean. There must be another who should
pay the price for his own sin. There must be another who should
give him righteousness. There must be another who should
give him life. And in the Gospel he hears of
Jesus Christ who's done all that. He hears of the Son of God who
loved him and gave himself for him. And in God, in Christ, in
his Saviour, he can say, and only in him, as for me, I will
come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy. and in thy fear
will I worship toward thy holy temple. Oh, what a contrast we
see here between man by nature in Adam, the wicked, and man
as he is in Jesus Christ, redeemed and washed by the blood of the
Lamb, brought to life again. He who has died and is risen
again. He who has died and is risen
again. What is it with you? Have you
died? And in Christ have you risen
again? Or are you still very much alive
in the flesh? Very much alive in the old man? Very much alive in this earth?
Or by the gospel? Can you truly say that you have
died and you have risen again and Christ is your all and as
for you, you will come into his house with praise and thanksgiving
as for you, your voice will be heard by God on high in the morning. As we see that contrast between
the wicked who remains in the grave and the righteous who bursts
forth if we've ever lost in life, the righteous who enters God's
house, his temple, the righteous who walks in righteousness, who
rejoices and shouts with joy, who trusts in God, the righteous
who is favoured and compassed by a shield. But let all those
that put their trust in thee rejoice, let them ever shout
for joy, because thou defendest them. Let them also that love
thy name be joyful in thee, for thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous. With favour wilt thou compass
him, as with a shield, as with a shield. Oh, what joy there
is! for those found in Christ. What
joy there is for those who have the righteousness of God in Jesus
Christ. What joy there is for those who
know what it is to rise up in the morning of a new day looking
up unto Christ their Saviour. All is in Christ. All in Christ. My voice Shalt thou hear in the
morning, O Lord? In the morning will I direct
my prayer unto thee, and will look up. In the morning. In the morning. How we see these
things throughout all the Scriptures. That all the Scriptures speak
of Jesus Christ. that this Gospel is found in
every passage, in every chapter of this book. How often if you
read from the Scriptures, from Genesis through to Revelation,
how often will you read of the third day? How often will you
read of the morning? How often will you read of the
temple and the life within? This phrase, in the morning,
is used so often and it's so pregnant with meaning in the
morning. Why does the psalmist often speak
of rising up in the morning to seek his God? Because that's
when the sun rises, that's when the darkness is bathed, that's
when the day comes forth, that's when the light shines forth.
It's because he lives in the light of the resurrection. in the morning in mark 16 verse
2 we read of that day when christ came forth from the grave and
very early in the morning the first day of the week they came
unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun And very early in
the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the
sepulchre at the rising of the sun. Not just the physical sun
that brought forth the light of the morning in this world,
but a picture of the rising of the Son of God in that morning
which lasts forever. In John 8 and verse 2, we read
of in the morning in another context. In John 8, Jesus in
his ministry goes to teach the people in the temple. But so
often we read of Christ and his disciples when they go to the
temple, it's in the morning. John 8 verse 2, and early in
the morning he came again into the temple and all the people
came unto him and he sat down and taught them. Early in the
morning he came again into the temple and all the people came
unto him and he sat down and taught them. Now is that not
the very essence of this psalm? In the morning. He calls unto
His God. In the morning He comes unto
the house, the temple of God. In the morning His people are
gathered with Him with joy. And in the morning, He with His
people teaches them the glory of His Gospel. In the morning. In Acts chapter 5 we read a wonderful
account regarding the apostles. the disciples, apostles and how
they were put into prison for preaching the gospel of Christ
and how they were brought far from prison and went into the
temple. Acts 5 verse 17 then the high
priest rose up and all they that were with him which is the sect
of the Sadducees and were filled with indignation and they laid
their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison.
But the angel of the Lord, by night, opened the prison doors
and brought them forth and said, Go, stand and speak in the temple
to the people all the words of this life. and when they heard
that they entered into the temple early in the morning and talked. Now that's a wonderful passage
in the light of the resurrection of Christ and the unity that
his people have with their Savior. On the surface it's an account
merely of the Acts of the Apostles, of the opposition they received
from the High Priest, from the Sadducees, from the Jews, from
the treatment they had in being cast into prison, and from the
hand of the Lord upon them, releasing them from prison and sending
them forth to preach the Gospel again. But in reality there's
far more to that account than that. We see their adversary,
their opponents, as depicted by the high priest and them that
were with him, the sect of the Sadducees. We see this people's
hatred of the apostles, of the children of God. We see what
they did to them in putting them in the common prison. we see
the angel of the Lord the messenger of the Lord who by night opened
the prison doors and brought them forth and said unto his
people go stand and speak in the temple to the people all
the words of this life and we see that the apostles when they
heard that then entered into the temple early in the morning
and talked. Now what is all this? Well firstly
the high priest and those that were with him is the adversary,
the enemy of the apostles, the disciples, the children of God. He's their enemy, their adversary,
he's a picture of Satan. He's a picture of Satan and all
his people, all his legions of devils. All those whom he leads
and all the wicked who are led forth by Satan, who hate and
are filled with indignation against Christ and his people. The high
priest and the Sadducees and all that are with him here is
seen as a picture of Satan and all those that do his bidding.
They're filled with indignation. They hate Christ. They hate his
people. They hate all those who are of
the life. All those who are risen again. All those who are in Christ,
born again of the Spirit. They hate them. And they seek
to destroy them and to keep them in darkness. Then the high priest rose up
and all they that were with him which is the sect of the Sadducees. Now what are the sect of the
Sadducees famous for? We read of the Pharisees and
the Sadducees. Now the Pharisees were custodians
of the law. They are as it were pictures
of Satan taking the law as the accuser of the Brethren and bringing
the law as some kind of condemnation against God's people. who despite
his accusation, which is just and true, can turn around in
Christ and say that Christ has taken my breach of the law and
paid the penalty. There is therefore now no condemnation. The Pharisees were the custodians
of the law, but the Sadducees were that group amongst the Jews
who denied the resurrection. They denied the resurrection. Why are they singled out in this
passage? Because this passage is to do
with the resurrection. is to do with these apostles
shut by the Sadducees and the High Priest in the common prison
who were then set forth, delivered from it, brought forth out of
it by the angel of the Lord in the darkness who brought them
forth and said go and stand and preach the words of this life
and as a consequence early in the morning they go into the
temple with life and preach the gospel Well the Sadducees were
that very sect that denied the resurrection. They said there
is no resurrection. There's no resurrection of the
just or of the damned. There's no resurrection. When
we die, that's it. Which is the message of this
day and age, isn't it? That when we die, that's it.
That this world is all that there is. That there is no life after
death. There is no judgement. There is no world to come. But
the liars, like these liars then, would keep you in the common
prison, would keep you in darkness, would keep you in the grave,
would keep you in the grave as a sinner with all other sinners,
and would deny you the hope of the gospel and deny you that
true belief in the resurrection. that only belief and that only
truth which will bring deliverance from your sin, deliverance from
captivity and life forevermore. Then the high priest arose with
all them that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees
who denied the resurrection and were together filled with indignation. Because here was a people, the
apostles, who said unto them, Jesus Christ whom thou crucified
is risen again. He's alive forevermore and we're
alive and risen with him and they hated them for saying that
and they'll hate you child of God for saying that. The very
essence of the gospel that Christ has died and taken away our sin
that we might live and reign with him forevermore is hated
by the Sadducees who deny the resurrection. Well they laid
their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison
which is a picture of that common prison of death by our sin which
all men, women and children are under by nature, are found within
by nature. We're all children of wrath,
we're all sinners, we're all born of Adam, whether we know
Christ's salvation or not, whether we're washed by the blood of
the Lamb or not, we're all by nature in a common prison, we're
all bound fast by our sin and there's no escape. And Satan, the adversary and
his people would keep you there. science falsely so called would
keep you there because it denies the life that there is after
death denies the resurrection well will you be kept in the
common prison bound by your sin or will you like the Apostles
have you like the Apostles sat in the darkness of that prison
seen will you see the angel of the lord by night opening the
prison doors and bringing you forth the angel of the lord by
night opened the prison doors and brought them forth and said
go Well this angel is not just any angel, it's very much a picture
of the angel of the Lord, the messenger of God, the Lord Jesus
Christ who comes as the Word of God with God's Word, God's
message in which he said go stand and speak to the people all the
words of this life. Christ came unto them. He opened
the prison doors, he brought them forth and he said, go stand
and speak. And that's the message of the
word of this life to us. Go, stand and speak. Not go and
do. Not go and work. Not go and make
yourself approved by your own efforts under God. But go and
stand. Stand in awe. Stand fast therefore
in the liberty wherewith Christ hath set you free. Go and stand
in the midst of this evil generation. Stand up. and speak the words
of this life, declare that Christ is risen and that you are risen
with him. And when they heard that they
entered into the temple early in the morning and taught, they
entered into the temple Mark 16 2 very early in the morning
first day of the week they came under the sepulcher at the rising
of the sun and they found Christ not there because Christ was
risen in the temple of his body he was alive. John 8 2 and early
in the morning Christ came into the temple with his people and
all the people came unto him and he sat down and taught them. And when they heard that, when
they heard the voice of Christ, when they heard the voice of
the angel of the Lord in the night opening the prison doors
and sending them forth, they entered into the temple early
in the morning and taught. What did they teach? The gospel. What did they speak? That Christ
is risen indeed. They stood, they stood firmly
on free and suffering grace, they stood firmly on his gospel,
they stood firmly on the truth that he'd done everything for
them, and they stood and spake that they were alive in him.
When they heard that, they entered into the temple and talked. Has Christ come unto you in the
darkness, in the night, in your common prison? Has he brought
you forth? Has he said unto you, go stand
and speak all the words of this life to the people, my people? Has he? Have you seen this angel
of the Lord? This angel who cries out unto
his God, my voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord?
in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee and will
look up in the morning. Elsewhere in the scriptures Christ
himself is referred to as the morning star because he rose
in the morning as the son of God that brings forth light in
the darkness he rose Revelation 22 says, I Jesus have sent mine
angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am
the root and the offspring of David and the bright and morning
star. The bright and morning star.
Earlier in chapter 2 of Revelation it is said, of the elect of the
righteous of he who follows God it is said by God that I will
give him the morning star I will give unto my people the morning
star I will give them Christ who rose early in the morning
and they rose early with him I will give them the morning
star he's theirs is he yours? Is he yours? Are you one with
him? Does God look upon you and say
you in Christ are a morning star? Do you rise in the morning in
the darkness of this world shining forth as a star who testifies
of the morning star? Job chapter 38 verse 7 it's written
when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted
for joy O are you a morning star, risen with the morning star,
lighting up the dark sky, lighting it up with glory, and shouting
for joy with the Saviour. As for me, I will come into thy
house in the multitude of thy mercy, and in thy fear will I
worship toward thy holy temple. My voice shalt thou hear in the
morning, O Lord. In the morning will I direct
my prayer unto thee, and will look up. let all those that put
their trust in thee rejoice let the sons of god shout for joy
let the morning stars sing together let them ever shout for joy the
psalmist says because thou defendest them let them also that love
thy name be joyful in thee for thou lord will bless the righteous. With favour wilt thou compass
him as with a shield. He's their shield, He's their
saviour, He comes to them in the night time and delivers them
out of the prison, He opens the prison doors, He brings them
forth, He says go stand and speak all the words of this life and
He watches over them and they in Him as morning stars shine
and declare to this world Christ the Saviour is risen indeed,
all my hope is in Him, for He came unto me in prison when I
was without strength, without hope in darkness, dead, hopeless,
and He set me free. Can you say that? Did He come
to you? Has He set you free? Will you sing with the morning
stars? Will you shout for joy? Will
you cry up unto the Lord your God? My voice shalt thou hear
in the morning, O Lord. My voice shalt thou hear in the
morning, O Lord.
