The Lord Is My Salvation

Hymn Sunday is a collaboration with Getty Music. You will find a video of a favorite psalm along with downloadable sheet music.

This is a song of testimony, inspired in part by Psalm 27. Our witness, at the simplest level, is telling another person what Christ has done for us. Singing songs of faith helps build our confidence in the God who calls us to serve, with both our words and our lives. As the seasons change, we are reminded that even in the darkest night of the soul, God’s grace reaches down to lift us up onto the solid ground. In what do you find your hope when the storms of life come?

The grace of God has reached for me
And pulled me from the raging sea
And I am safe on this solid ground
The Lord is my salvation

—Keith Getty, Kristyn Getty, Jonas Myrin and Nathan Nockels

  • What Grieves the Heart of God

    What Grieves the Heart of God?

    What pleases God? What delights his heart? And what displeases God? What grieves his heart? If asked, I think most of us would assume that if we ever grieve the heart of God it will be through denying the gospel or committing a grave moral scandal. Or if we do so as a local church,…
