I read Psalm 49 today. This psalm is a challenge to me in days when the economy is not doing well, and the cost of everything is rising while pay cheques are not, This whole psalm warns of the folly of trusting in wealth, and that when we die, no matter how much money we have, we have to leave it all behind and it won't do anything for us then. What lovely words these are: 'But God will redeem my life from the grave, he will surely take me to himself' coming as they do after these words in verses7,8: 'No man can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for him - the ransom of a life is costly, no payment is ever enough....' Praise God that he paid the full cost so that I might be redeemed and live with Him for ever. Praise God that the very first Easter, He gave His only begotten Son to so that I and everyone of us who repents of our sins and asks his forgiveness may be saved.
Such love, pure as the whitest snow
Such love, weeps for the shame I know
Such love, paying the debt I owe
O Jesus, such love
Such love, stilling my restlessness
Such love, filling my emptiness
Such love, showing me holiness
O Jesus, such love
Such love, springs from eternity
Such love, streaming through history
Such love, fountain of life to me
O Jesus, such love
