Psalm 126 celebrates God's restoration of Zion, turning sorrow into joy, and gives us the promise of countless blessings that follow our faithful endurance. Marcus & Jalyn McGill have beautifully captured that essence in their song 'Psalm 126'. Just like you will find in this Psalm, this song is such a source of hope if you're going through tough times.
'Psalm 126' is the fourth single from their upcoming album, 'Between Barren & Beautiful'. It features Chris Graham, who gives the song an extra gospel vibe that reaches deep into your heart, and makes you want to close your eyes and sway with the music.
You know how sometimes life can feel as if your all alone, wandering through a desert? Can you imagine the joy you would feel when you see the help that is rapidly coming your way? That joy of knowing that the situation is changing for the better, the tears running down your cheeks when you realize that you will soon be embraced by the One who truly loves you. It's lines like 'You have done great things for us // We've seen You restore' and 'So even in this desert land // We expect You Lord' that remind you that God is faithful through it all. The key is to hold onto hope, even when you're just sowing in tears - going against everything that your flesh wants you to do during these difficult times - because the promise of a joyful harvest is right around the corner.
Then comes the bridge of the song! 'I can see armloads of blessing // And a table of plenty' trusting in God's promise to bring life out of nothing. If you need a little (or maybe a lot of) hope, or you know someone who does, do yourself (or them) a favor and listen to 'Psalm 126.' May its truths sooth your pain and remind you that with God, a harvest of joy is always on the horizon!
