For week #41, I will be singing a song titled “Bless the Lord oh my soul” it is a heartfelt expression of gratitude and worship towards God for His saving power and unending love. In the lyrics, the songwriter reflects on the person of Christ, describing Him as the Son of Man, the Son of Righteousness, and the King of the earth who was slain for sinners. This emphasizes the sacrificial love of Jesus, who gave His life to rescue humanity from the bondage of sin. The phrase “I was lost, in darkness bound” directly connects to the theme of the darkness. Darkness here represents separation from God, a state of confusion, hopelessness, and bondage to sin. It symbolizes the struggles and emptiness of life without divine light and guidance.

However, the turning point comes with redemption: “You ransomed my heart and I will sing.” This highlights that through Christ’s sacrifice, the songwriter was delivered from the darkness into light. Blessing the Lord with one’s soul is therefore not just an act of worship but a response to being set free from despair and hopelessness. By acknowledging God as strength, deliverer, and redeemer, the soul testifies that divine love overcomes every form of darkness.

Song lyrics

Verse 1]
Son of man
Son of righteousness

[Verse 1]
Son of man (Son of man)

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up... To more than I can be

Of all the little things that help me grow
Through highs and lows, I’ve come this far
With open hands and with a grateful heart.

Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be

Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary nights
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry
