I read this psalm, and starting singing a song I rememebr from my days in North Carolina. At the start up mission congregation my family and I were a part of there. It is a song by Chris Tomlin from his first album The Noise We Make, called Forever. This song is a paraphrase of these verses for today (Psalm 118:1-2).
The second verse is:
From the rising to the setting sun
His love endures forever
By the grace of God
We will carry on
His love endures forever
Sing praise, sing praise
Sing praise, sing praise
Yeah
Forever God is faithful
Forever God is strong
Forever God is with us
Forever God is with us, so we can sing praises to him regardless of what is happening around us, because by His grace we can always carry on. He will never leave us, and He will always be faithful and is able to see us through whatever comes our way.
Sing praise to our God who is forever faithful to us who he calls his own.
Wonderful gracious king, help us to sing praises to you, knowing you have promised to always be with us and to guide us along the paths in front of us. Give us your strength so we might cling to you always. Amen.
