Blessed Is the Man – Scripture Song from Psalm 1

I am always appreciative of songs that are direct quotes of Scripture.

This is one of those:

Psalm 1 has been put to music in the song “Blessed Is the Man.” It is a song based on the words from Psalm 1 – A great passage of Scripture for young people too!

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Ps. 1:1-3

Here is a video of a group of men singing this tune.

How to Share Audio/Samples with Your Choir

If you’re techie, this may be a solution you can utilize to get audio samples easily to your whole choir:

I saw one church utilize this and liked the idea.

1.) If you have access to your church’s website, create a page called “choir.”
2.) List the upcoming weeks’ choir songs by date.
3.) Provide a link (either to YouTube or to the actual product page sample)

This idea came from https://www.whbcomaha.org/ministries-1/choir

Alternative ideas:

I’ve seen a choir director utilize Google calendar to notify of upcoming songs.

“Old-school”: distribute audio recordings during choir (make sure not to violate copyright law)

Are You Washed in the Blood – Great Doctrinal Song

Have you ever considered the doctrine in this song?

“Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r..
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour…

Are your garments spotless?
Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?”
Elisha Hoffman

Incredible, incredible depth – if you think of those words . . .

Perhaps how many in the congregation are truly not “washed in the blood.” (Perhaps not “trusting in His grace…”)

How absolutely convicting, how emphatic!

“Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin…
There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!”
Elisha Hoffman

What an incredible song! What an incredible message!!

Where to find it:

Most hymnals should (hopefully!) contain it

How is the joy in your life?? Truly, Jesus is the source of all joy!

“I have a song
that Jesus gave me . . .”

There is a “song” in our heart! (or should be, if we’re walking in fellowship with Him)

I think of so many verses:

“He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God.” (Ps. 40:3)
Ps. 40:3

“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs . . .”
Eph. 5:19a

This is an amazing song! Many in your congregation will be familiar with it.

Where to find:

Many hymnals will contain this song –
It is often titled “In My Heart There Rings a Melody”

Rabbit trail here – I thought this quote had an interesting perspective (perhaps you can say it has application from love “suffereth long and is kind…” etc. (I Cor. 13)

“Secret of long marriage is a short memory.” Pastor Vallier
