Psalms 4 Shine On Me

When the world keeps asking who will show us any good, there is one light that never fades. ☀️ "Shine On Me" is Psalm 4, sung as a prayer. Psalm 4 is an evening prayer. David calls out to the God who has made room for him in distress, while many around him ask, "Who will shew us any good?" His answer is simple: "LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us." God has put more gladness in his heart than any harvest could bring, and so he lies down in peace and sleeps, safe in God's care. "Shine On Me" follows that same path, from chasing things that fade, to the joy of God's face, to resting without fear at night. The bridge borrows the priestly blessing from Numbers 6:24-26, "The LORD bless thee, and keep thee," because it prays for that same shining face. 📖 Scripture: Psalm 4 (all eight verses) This song is drawn from the whole of Psalm 4.
