How might this psalm articulate an aspect of our own sacred existence, or how might it help us celebrate a special day in our lives? How might it provide comfort when we are bereft and most in need of consolation, or how might it help us provide comfort for someone else? Songs Ascending explores all this and more, engaging the reader in dialogue that will inform and inspire.

"For Richard Levy, the force of the Psalms comes from their spiritual intentions; and he re-enforces this priority with rich commentary and postscripts that help the reader actually USE the Psalms in some meaningful way. Songs Ascending may be the high point in Richard Levy's career--a career filled with high points." - Rabbi William Cutter, PhD, Steinberg Emeritus Professor of Human Relations at HUC-JIR Los Angeles "With its clear and engaging English translation, the insightful commentary, and thought provoking spiritual applications, Songs Ascending offers something for everyone, from lay person, to rabbi, to biblical scholar alike. And for that, I give it a "two thumbs up," or as we say in Hebrew: kol hakavod!" - Professor Kristine Henriksen Garroway, Visiting Assistant Professor of Hebrew Bible at HUC-JIR Los Angeles

Worship Songs
Author: Irena Lewis
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
God is to be worshipped. I knew that, but I did not know how. I asked the Lord one day how He wanted me to worship Him, and He gave me Worship Songs. Every day, we would meet, and He would give me a song--sometimes two, sometimes more. It was amazing how the Holy Spirit was speaking, and as He was speaking, I was writing His every word. The Lord gave me two hundred songs. Not only did God want me to hear and sing these songs but He wanted His words manifested in my life. Worship Songs are songs conveying God's love and plan for me while processing, delivering, and teaching me how to trust, to worship, to praise, and to thank Him, in every situation. They are songs of my surrendering, my releasing all care, my humbling myself, and my giving all place to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Worship Songs are songs of my getting to know Who the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are. They are songs that we are singing to one another--God's heart to my heart, my heart to God's heart, with God bringing out of my heart words that I did not know were there. Writing Worship Songs allowed me to experience God's comfort, care, encouragement, assurance, mercy, and grace, like never before. He lifted me and lifted me and lifted me up, with His presence, with His Word, with His Spirit, with His worship songs, with everything He knew I needed. He worked a wonderful work in me. Worship Songs are divine messages, commitments, promises, direction, and purpose. These songs are God-breathed, rooted, and grounded in love, set apart to bring about change in my life and the lives of readers.

George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Harold Arlen, Hoagy Carmichael and many others, along with such lyricists as Ira Gershwin, Lorenz Hart, and Dorothy Fields, produced extraordinary songs of signal importance to the American musical heritage.
