LSFB229: Lifespring! Family Bible…Psalms 56 – 63…Reading The Bible Through In One Year
One of the main themes of today’s psalms is that God is our deliverer. If God is for us, who can be against us?
HS38: Lifespring! HymnStories “There Is A Fountain”
William Cowper is one of God’s gracious gifts to those suffering from depression. Like the Psalmist who cried, “Why are you cast down, O my soul?”, Cowper shows us that our emotional struggles often give us heightened sensitivity to the heart of God and to the needs of others.
Listen to the show for more of the story behind this wonderful hymn.

Lyrics by William Cowper
Written in 1772
There is a fountain filled with blood
drawn from Emmanuel’s veins;
and sinners plunged beneath that flood
lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains,
lose all their guilty stains;
and sinners plunged beneath that flood
lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
that fountain in his day;
and there may I, though vile as he,
wash all my sins away.
Wash all my sins away,
wash all my sins away;
and there may I, though vile as he,
wash all my sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
shall never lose its power
till all the ransomed church of God
be saved, to sin no more.
Be saved, to sin no more,
be saved, to sin no more;
till all the ransomed church of God
be saved, to sin no more.
E’er since, by faith, I saw the stream
thy flowing wounds supply,
redeeming love has been my theme,
and shall be till I die.
And shall be till I die,
and shall be till I die;
redeeming love has been my theme,
and shall be till I die.
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing thy power to save,
when this poor lisping, stammering tongue
lies silent in the grave.
Lies silent in the grave,
lies silent in the grave;
when this poor lisping, stammering tongue
lies silent in the grave.

lsfb227: Lifespring! Family Bible…Psalms 44 – 49…Reading The Bible Through In One Year
Our Psalm reading today runs the gamut; from the despair of feeling as if God has abandoned the psalmist, to praising Him with enthusiasm, to warning unbelievers about what awaits them, to the foolishness of relying on riches.
LSFB226: Lifespring! Family Bible…Psalms 38 – 43…Reading The Bible Through In One Year
We find that even David, a man of great faith (and failures), had times where he felt separated from God…as if God didn’t hear his cries for help. However, feelings are not reality. David writes that God did hear him and rescue him. That’s a good lesson to remember when we are feeling doubts or separation.
LSFB225: Lifespring! Family Bible…Psalms 34 – 37…Reading The Bible Through In One Year
David stresses God’s protection for the believer today.
