Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return

Isa. 35:10 And the ransomed of Jehovah will return / And will come to Zion with a ringing shout, / And eternal joy will be upon their heads. / They will lay hold on gladness and joy, / And sorrow and sighing will flee away.

Isaiah 35 song!!! Love it thanks.

Praise the Lord! for the everlasting gladness and joy! ❤️

RECEIVING THE WORD TO LIVE CHRIST

In order to receive the Word into our being, we should not merely read the Word, but should mingle our reading with prayer, singing, psalming, and calling on the name of the Lord. Whenever I open the Word of God, either for the work or for my own nourishment, I am immersed in the atmosphere and aspiration of prayer. Often I converse with the Lord by means of the verse I am reading. In this way I am infused and nourished, filled in my spirit with the living Word, which is actually Christ Himself as the Spirit.

When we are filled with the word of Christ, we are automatically filled with the riches of Christ and the fullness of the Godhead. Every day we need to take the living Word into us as food. When we come to the Word, we should open our entire being and exercise our spirit. First we should pray and then pray-read, sing-read, and psalm-read. In singing and psalming the Word, we may use any kind of melody, even a spontaneous one of our own composition.

SINGING THE WORD OF CHRIST

In the meetings of the church we sometimes sing, “Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion” (Isa. 51:11). Singing this verse can be inspiring and releasing. But it cannot compare in richness with singing verses from the book of Ephesians. We especially need to sing those verses which convey to us the riches of Christ. Again, I would encourage you to sing-read Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians, four books filled with the divine riches. What riches are to be found in verses like Colossians 2:9 and Ephesians 3:17—all the fullness of the Godhead dwelling in Christ, and Christ making His home in our hearts!

SATURATED WITH THE WORD

THROUGH THE SPIRIT

The more we eat the living Word, the more we shall be constituted of the Word. We shall be saturated and fully constituted of Christ. Then our thinking will be Christ’s thinking, our speaking will be Christ’s speaking, and our actions will be Christ’s actions. This is the way to live Christ.

Reading Isaiah 35 and verse 10 reminded me of this beautiful song and childhood memories. Praise God for His faithfulness.

Childhood memories refreshed. I keep remembering many such Hymn I used to sing in my hostel Lowry memorial Doorvaninagar. Somewhere b/w 1978 to 1980. Anyone who knows me?

Praise the Lord! Our hope of glory!

Today as I was coming to work this song which I sang as a kid kept springing up from my heart & I kept humming the first three lines. Glad to recover the whole song here. God you are good, Thank you Jesus!! we who are redeemed by Your Holy Blood will sing & bless your name for ever..

And come with singing unto Zion!!

A few days ago this song came into my head while I was walking my dog, and it wouldn't stop. As I neared home, I thought of a friend's mother who was in hospice nearby.

She was such a strong Christian and told me about things she prayed for in a way that opened my eyes to many more opportunities for prayer. When I got home, I called her, She had been dozing for the last 3 days, not eating or drinking. My friend held the phone to her ear, and I sang it to her, and told her I would see her in Zion soon. She passed on to Jesus the next day. I'm so glad she heard this joyous song to help her on her way.
