"Praise Him in Song"

"Your Steadfast Love"

It is a joy to sing words from the Psalms back to God.  In the 1970's, Ted Sandquist released a worship song, "Your Steadfast Love," based on Psalm 36:5-8.  Together with Phil Keaggy, a guitarist, and others, an album was produced titled, "Courts of the King," with this song on it.

Thirty years later, Ted's family released an anniversary album, because of its popularity.  Ted is seen as a pioneer of modern worship music.  Several other songs you might recognize from the album are "Lion of Judah," "My Sun and My Shield," and "All that I Can Do is Thank Him."  The chorus to the last song listed is:

 

All that I can do is thank You

All that I can do is pray

All that I can do is lift my hands

To sing Your praise.

 

His son, Jordan, wrote a comment on You Tube, March 6, 2021, "Dad is alive and well (though he had a rough bout with COVID19 a year ago), and we are all still writing worship music."  They are working on getting some of their dad's music on the web.

The words to the song are:

 

Your steadfast love extends to the heavens

Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds

Your righteousness is like majestic mountains

And your wisdom like the depths of the sea

And You come to me

 

Filling my heart with your loving kindness

I find my peace in the shadow of your wings

I eat my fill from the abundance of your household

And I drink from the streams of rejoicing

 

You are my KIng.
