He Is The Theme Of My Song

Day 11

You could sum up the life of composer and arranger John Hallett with these words: “The theme of my song is Jesus.”

When you read his texts, most of them focus on the person of Jesus. Because he put Jesus first, Jesus opened many doors of ministry and influence for him. One of his choruses is titled:

“He Is The Theme Of My Song”

Jesus, Jesus, He is the theme of my song;
Jesus, Jesus, praising His Name all day long.
Jesus, Jesus, wonderful Savior is He;
Jesus, Jesus, more like Him I would be.

John could inspire others because of Who inspired him. He was a reflection of that One Whom he loved and served all the days of his life.

Ask yourself some questions based on this simple chorus and then meditate on the following verses:

     Jesus, Jesus, He is the theme of my song;

Is Jesus the theme of my song?

Psalm 118:14 The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.

Psalm 32:7 You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.

     Jesus, Jesus, praising His Name all day long.

Do I praise His name all day long?
