\u201c10,000 Reasons – Songs that Inspire Us” – Psalm 103<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The Story behind the song<\/h4>\n

What does it look like to \u2018bless someone, with all that is within you?\u2019 It\u2019s a rhetorical question that is prompted by the opening verse of Psalm 103.\u00a0\u2018Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!\u2019<\/em>\u00a0God alone is worthy of such soul-encompassing praise. That is what the Psalmist, David, means when he said \u2018Bless the Lord, O my soul\u2019. He is telling\u00a0himself, his soul<\/em>\u00a0to bless (praise) the Lord, with all that is within Him! It is this beautiful Psalm that inspired the song \u2018Ten Thousand Reasons\u2019 by Matt Redman.<\/p>\n

In 2011, Redman spent a few days in his local chapel working on new material with Swedish co-writer Jonas Myrin. They had been working for 15 hours and it was now about 1:30 am. Several times during the session, Myrin had wanted to play Redman some chords, but was rebutted. Redman preferred to finish what they had, rather than start something new. But, as Myrin was not normally a pushy person and had tried several times, his friend thought he ought to at least give the music a quick listen. Myrin played him what was to become the chorus of \u2018Ten Thousand Reasons\u2019 and it released an automatic response in Redman, matching a few words that he already had written down. He took as his inspiration the opening verse to Psalm 103: \u201cBless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me bless his holy name!\u201d The song was written in about one hour.<\/p>\n

Psalm 103 gives amazing reasons to praise God, including; He forgives our sins, heals our diseases, redeems our lives from the pit, crowns us with love and compassion, satisfies our desires and gives righteousness and justice. This song reflects the words of this Psalm, along with other reasons to praise God.<\/p>\n

However, the point behind the song is a whole other story. Redman and Myrin made a list of their own, noting they were barely scratching the surface of God\u2019s worth. Redman explained, \u201cThe point behind the song is this\u2026 If you wake up one morning and you cannot think of a reason to bring God some kind of offering of thanks or praise, then you can be sure there\u2019s something wrong at your end of the pipeline, and not his. We live beneath an unceasing flow of goodness, kindness, greatness, and holiness, and every day we\u2019re given reason after reason why Jesus is so completely and utterly worthy of our highest and best devotion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a010,000 reasons of the title echoes the \u201cWhen we\u2019ve been there 10,000 years\u201d of \u201cAmazing Grace<\/a>.\u201d \u201cWe already had the \u201810,000 reasons\u2019 lyric in verse two,\u201d explained Redman. \u201cSo when it got to writing verse three, and we were on the theme of eternity, the idea came to mirror that \u201810,000\u2019 number and at the same time give a nod to the old hymn.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Refrain: Bless the Lord<\/h4>\n

Bless the Lord O my soul, O my soul, Worship His holy name<\/p>\n

Sing like never before, O my soul, I\u2019ll worship Your holy name.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Redman\u2019s song starts and ends with the refrain. It is quite simply a call to bless or praise God, with all one\u2019s being, as if you had never sung or worshiped the Lord before.<\/p>\n

Just a couple of notes about some words. First, you don\u2019t notice it in the song, but throughout the psalm the word LORD is spelled all in capital letters. That is the Bible\u2019s way of indicating that this actually represents the name of the one true God, the name that He revealed to Moses at the burning bush: \u201cYahweh, I am who I am.\u201d This is the one our souls are blessing.<\/p>\n

Second, the word \u2018bless\u2019 has a primary meaning of bending the knee, but can have two different senses depending on whether it\u2019s spoken from the greater person to the lesser or from the lesser to the greater. In the psalm, it\u2019s spoken from the lesser – David – to the greater \u2013 the LORD! When we sing the song, it is likewise spoken from the lesser \u2013 us \u2013 to the greater \u2013 the LORD! \u201cBless\u201d indicates worship, adoration, praise from David, and Redman, and us toward God for His freely-given goodness and benefits.\u00a0David personally unpacks the goodness and the mercy and the benefits he has received from God\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cwho forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, yes, bless the LORD, worship God, lift up His holy name, declare who He is, acknowledge His attributes, give thanks for His gracious work.<\/p>\n

Third, in the psalm, David calls on his soul to praise the LORD. We may think of that as one\u2019s spiritual essence or center, but the second half of that first verse expands its meaning to include \u201call that is within me\u201d – one\u2019s body, mind, emotions, will, personality. Our praise of God dare not be limited to our lips and tongue and voicebox. Our hearts are rightfully the source of our spiritual joy. Our hands can be lifted in true worship. Our minds can be engaged as we consider the words we say or sing. We are called here to sing joyfully, exuberantly, with everything we are!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 v.1\u00a0 – Praise from sun-up to sun-down<\/h4>\n

The sun comes up it\u2019s a new day dawning\u00a0 It\u2019s time to sing Your song again.<\/p>\n

Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me\u00a0 Let me be singing when the evening comes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first verse captures a beautiful thought from ten psalms later – Psalm 113. There we read \u201cFrom the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the LORD is to be praised!\u201d That\u2019s what Redman says \u2013 it\u2019s time to sing the LORD\u2019s song when the sun comes up, when a new day dawns. And may I be found singing when the evening comes, and when the sun goes down. One of our hymnal evening hymns captures that thought in a different way. It says that when the sun sets and bids us rest and our praise slides silently into sleep, the saints in western skies are waking and starting their day with praise. That means that the voice of prayer and praise is never silent\u2026 it is just raised by different groups of people around the globe as the earth spins.<\/p>\n

The other two phrases in the first verse refer to the circumstances of life \u2013 much like Horatio Spafford\u2019s \u201cwhatever my lot.\u201d Redman writes \u201cwhatever may pass\u201d \u2013 that is, whatever events have transpired in the day or the week, whether they are good, great, outstanding, neutral, ho-hum, or if you have had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day\u2026 whatever has happened, may I pause at the end of the day to acknowledge God\u2019s presence, His grace, His peace. Redman adds \u201cwhatever lies before me\u201d \u2013 that is, whatever events might be on the horizon in the next day or two, whether they are known and planned, or completely unexpected and surprising\u2026 whatever might come, may I pause at the end of the day to contemplate God\u2019s goodness that leads me into tomorrow. Whatever it is, may my heart, my voice, my soul sing God\u2019s praise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0v.2 – Rich in love\/slow to anger<\/h4>\n

You\u2019re rich in love and You\u2019re slow to anger\u00a0 Your name is great and Your heart is kind.<\/p>\n

For all Your goodness I will keep on singing\u00a0 Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The second verse describes the character and the attributes of God. He is rich in love. Some people don\u2019t look at God that way. They see God as a vindictive and punishing judge. They think God is a police officer, always looking over their shoulder to see if they have done everything He has asked them to do, and to see if they have done it right, and if not to issue them a fine to penalize them for their wrong doing. Or they think of God as a hockey referee who is paying attention to the things you do wrong, and then putting you in the \u201csin bin\u201d for two minutes, or two days, or two months, or two years. Others think of God as a jolly Santa Claus that always gives us the things we want, the things that we determine would make us happy. We sit on God\u2019s prayer lap and tell Him what we want for Christmas, or for any day, and we expect him to say \u201cyour will be done!\u201d<\/p>\n

But Redman declares the truth \u2013 God is rich in love. Psalm 103:8 says \u201cabounding in love,\u201d and it goes on to use a simile to describe it: \u201cAs high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His steadfast love toward us.\u201d Ephesians 2 says \u201crich in mercy because of His great love.\u201d Love doesn\u2019t always punish, nor does love always give us what we want. Love gives us what we need, what God knows that we need.<\/p>\n

God is slow to anger. This is also from Psalm 103:8, but it had been previously recorded word-for-word in other psalms, and all the way back to the time of Moses in Numbers 14. Slow to anger\u2026 that is an attribute of God that we really need. God has every right to be angry with us, with me. I know that I sin every day. I disappoint God. I fail to show love to others. At times I am impatient. My words can be either sharp or less than genuine. My motives can be described as self-serving. I\u2019m sure you have your own ways to sin, and yes, God has every right to be angry with you and me, to be quick to anger, and to always get even, and to be sure to give us what we deserve for our sins. But the Bible\u2019s truth tells us that God is slow to anger, and that\u2019s a good thing, that\u2019s a relief. Again the psalm uses a simile: \u201cas far as the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgressions from us.\u201d Stand on the beach at Tofino, and look west out over the ocean. Can you see yours sins? No, not a chance! God has removed them from our sight, and from His sight.<\/p>\n

The next words describe God\u2019s character \u2013 His name is great, His heart is kind, goodness is His middle name. In fact, in both English and German (and maybe some other languages) the words \u2018good\u2019 and \u2018God\u2019 are either spelled or sound similar \u2013 good \/ God, gut \/ Gott. The first part of Psalm 103:8 says the LORD is compassionate and gracious\u2026 good. When Martin Luther explained the 4th<\/sup> Petition of the Lord\u2019s Prayer (about daily bread), he wrote that God gives us everything that has to do with the support and needs of the body, such as food, drink, clothing, shoes, house, home, land, animals, money, goods, a devout spouse, devout children, devout workers, devout and faithful rulers, good government, good weather, peace, health, self-control, good reputation, good friends, faithful neighbours, and the like. When Luther explains the three articles of the Apostles\u2019 Creed, he uses verbs to describe the goodness of God: He made me; He gives me my body and all my members; he daily provides for me; He defends, guards and protects me; He redeems me; He calls me to faith, sanctifying and keeping me there by His grace. God is good \u2013 all the time!! Luther doesn\u2019t quite get up to 10,000 reasons to bless the LORD, but Matt Redman implies that Luther hasn\u2019t found and catalogued ALL the reasons for our souls to bless the LORD. There are more! And every day, we can look for them and count our blessings!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0v.3 – My time has come… praise unending!<\/h4>\n

And on that day when my strength is failing\u00a0 The end draws near and my time has come,<\/p>\n

Still my soul will sing Your praise unending\u00a0 Ten thousand years and then forevermore.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Like several other songs \/ hymns we have explored, Matt Redman\u2019s last verse takes us to thoughts of the end, our end. Redman acknowledged that, even though he was young and virile at the time he wrote this song, one day, like all of us, his strength would fail. The heart would grow weak, the breathing would be labored, the hearing would fail, the legs would crumple under the body\u2019s weight, the internal organs would shut down. That day, that time will come for all of us. BUT there is still (and always) reason for our soul, for everything in us to sing. Just like God delivers us from our last day of life in the womb to our first day of life outside the womb and in this world, so God will one day take us through that last day of life in this world to the first day of life in His world, His heaven, and that is a life without end – 10,000 years and then forevermore\u2026 like Amazing Grace \u2013 \u201cWhen we\u2019ve been there ten thousand years bright shining as the sun, We\u2019ve no less days to sing God\u2019s praise than when we\u2019d first begun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beautiful \u201c10,000 Reasons\u201d stories<\/p>\n

In a 2016\u00a0Church Times<\/em>\u00a0interview, Matt Redman noted that everyone experiences pain, heartache and stress, including Christians. Noting the number of laments in the Psalms, he added, somewhat counter-intuitively, \u201cWhen you start to sing about troubles, you very quickly start to journey into the compassionate, kind, generous, caring heart of God,\u201d observing that it was the songs he has written on these themes that have generated \u201cthe most beautiful stories.\u201d In fact, Redman compiled examples of some of them into a book of the same name:\u00a010,000 Reasons: Stories of faith, hope, and thankfulness inspired<\/em>.<\/p>\n

One story was that of Reuben Hill, a student at London\u2019s Imperial College who was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Surgeons operated on him using groundbreaking technology, and he had to be awake during part of the procedure, so that they could check that his speech was not being harmed. As the last pieces of his tumour were removed, he sang lines from Redman\u2019s song: \u201cThe sun comes up, it\u2019s a new day dawning, it\u2019s time to sing your song again. Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, let me be singing when the evening comes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another story was of two prisoners, Andrew and Myu, who had spent ten years in a Bali jail for drug smuggling. While there, they had become Christians and experienced a radical change of life, inspiring others to the same transformation. However, as their crime carried the death penalty, they were still due to face a firing squad. As they stood against a wall, blindfolded and facing the guns, they began to sing: \u201cAnd on that day when my strength is failing, the end draws near and my time has come. Still my soul will sing your praise unending, ten thousand years and then forevermore.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Without further adieu, and because the LORD is so completely and utterly worthy of our highest and best devotion, let\u2019s stand and lift up our hands and sing, \u201cTen Thousand Reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
