Song one
A project I've been dreaming of for a few years begins today. I have loved the Psalms for decades as a source for daily devotions. I have been thinking of sort of writing the Psalms as though they were written in a New Covenant context...In other words how the Psalms might sound under the graced teaching of YahShua(Jesus) instead of under the Law. The result would be something like New Covenant Songs.

There is no way I would rewrite scripture,nor try to correct anything in the sacred texts. This is simply a suggestion on how a born again child of the King might share the same emotions we experience in the Psalms of the Old Testament.

New Covenant Song 1

1 Oh, how much grace those have received
To not follow the opinions of the wicked,
Or stand in fellowship with sinners,
Or take up the bitterness of scoffers.

2 But the Spirit has given them a delight in following YahShua;
and Christ has kneaded His love into their hearts.

3 They are like trees rooted in living waters,
The Spirit’s gifts work mightily within them,
to the weary they are like shade on a hot day,
and God accomplishes much through their lives.

4 But this in not true of the graceless.
They are like useless hulls of wheat,
Scattered by the confusing passions of the present.

5 They will end up empty and wasted with desperate regrets.
A life lived apart from God’s graced children.

6 For Yahweh carefully leads each step of His people,
But the road of the graceless leads to despair.
