It's a challenge, at least to me. I am not even sure the title is correct. Should it be "a song" instead of "the song"? I mean, you could say that whatever the Lord deems to be His song is THE Song of the Lord. However, could it be that each one who chooses to worship Him in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24) has a piece of that song through Christ in each one of us, and the sum total of those songs, plus all aspects of the song that Christ has not chosen to reveal at this time, equals the Song of the Lord? I imagine at some level, it is not just about expressing ourselves through what humanity commonly calls a song, but that our lives are an instrument of the Lord, and the "song" of the example of Him living in us is to be heard by a world that desperately needs Him. Scripture says we are the fragrance of Christ (2 Cor 2:14). I pray that I grow more in tune with who He is and who He made me to be, so that I am the sweetest smelling aroma to their ears, so to speak, to move them to worship the Lord who gave Himself for us.
At the Trammell house church tonight, it was mentioned that we are hidden with Christ in God. Therefore, to find who we are (in Him), we have to know the Him that we are in. Thus, to find the Song of the Lord, we have to find and know the Lord of the song. That will take an eternity, so it behooves us to always be pursuing it. This process is more than just head knowledge, and more than just searching the scriptures (John 5:39-40). If He is our savior, He is in our hearts, His deep calling to our deep to fellowship with and unite with Him so our heart is His heart. Then our heartbeat is one with His, our being resonates with His, His sound for us becomes our sound, and His song is expressed through us. That is what I hope to find in greater and greater measure, and that is what I hope to live.
