Songs from the Heart

Precious Lord Take My Hand (English) 8.20.2023

Pastor Kirk Massey
Tired. Weak. Worn. Mark introduces us to someone who’s all three. She’s been bleeding for 12 years with no end in sight and no help to be had. What remedies the many doctors may have tried, didn’t help her. In fact, it made matters worse. “She suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors.” Her attempts at getting well did nothing but drain her of everything that she had. Physically exhausted. Socially ostracized. Financially, spent. No healing. No money. No one to turn to…until. Until Jesus came to town. Can you identify? Which of the three describe you? Tired? Tired of the troubles that don’t seem to go away? Weak? Weak from a failing body? Worn out from too many demands? Or maybe, like the woman, you can relate to all three. Tired. Weak. Worn. Precious Lord, Take my Hand. If that prayer is on your heart, know this: God hears it. Because He is near, so is His help. Jesus has power to heal and love to share. Just ask the only woman in the Scriptures whom Jesus endearingly calls, Daughter.

Songs from the Heart

Introduction: The song in the Christian heart. Ah, yes, its melody is beautiful, its words, stunning. It’s a song like none other. Dear Christian, that song is there in your heart and on your lips because, well, God put it there. There was a man named David who we find out had been in the “slimy pit, mud and mire of life.” (Psalm 40:2). But then God lifted him out and “set his feet on a rock” and gave him a “firm place to stand.” But that wasn’t all. God did more. David tells it like this: “He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.” (Psalm 40:3). The new song? The hymn of praise? The song of salvation. God has forgiven our sins! He has removed our guilt! He has conquered death and defeated the devil! Jesus sovereignly rules our lives and masterfully works all things for good. He is preparing our eternal home! My, oh, my, our Lord has done - and is doing - marvelous things! What David did - we can do: Sing. Praise. Worship. Give glory to our Lord Jesus who also put a new song and hymn of praise in our mouth! We will have the opportunity to do just that with our 4-part sermon series called, “Songs from the Heart.” Alongside the designated sermon text from Scripture, these are the hymns upon which we will focus: How Great Thou Art Precious Lord Take My Hand What a Friend We Have in Jesus Amazing Grace David had reason to sing. Thanks to Jesus, we do, too.
