Every Letter, Every Pen Stroke (Matthew 5:18)

As I read the Psalms, I am reminded of song after song that has been written on the basis of these ancient Hebrew hymns.  Somehow I think the songs are better commentary than any I could offer.  The Psalms were meant to be sung.  They really weren't intended to be exegeted and known by the mind.  They were first to speak to the heart and the mind through their poetry and music.  Today, as I read the final verses of Psalm 30 I was reminded of the classic song by Steve Green released some 20 odd years ago.  Perhaps the music is a little dated, but the joy is never out of style.
