Oh blessed be God! ...
He didn't abandon us defenseless.
Psalm 124:6, The Message
"How God wants us to sing like this! Christians are not fussy moralists who cluck their tongues over a world going to hell; Christians are people who praise the God who is on our side, Christians are not pious pretenders in the midst of a decadent culture; Christians are robust witnesses to the God who is our help. Christians are not fatigued outcasts who carry righteousness as a burden in a world where the wicked flourish; Christians are people who sing, "Oh, blessed be God! ... He didn't abandon us defenseless.""
