It tells my story\u2014past, present, and future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It opens with a testimony:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, it wasn\u2019t just mud; it was a cesspool. I was drowning in my own mess, up to my eyes. Yet God reached down and rescued me. He didn\u2019t just pull me out\u2014He cleaned me off, healed my heart, and set my feet on the Rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is that Rock? It\u2019s the unshakable confession that Jesus is Lord\u2014like Peter\u2019s declaration at Caesarea Philippi. It\u2019s prayer, His Word, His church and the Great Commission. And on that Rock, He placed a new song in my mouth\u2014not a cover tune, not a secular anthem, but an original hymn of praise to Him alone. He gave me a story for His glory and a melody to point others to the true Treasure: Christ and His Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of this song isn\u2019t charts, awards, or applause. It\u2019s transformation. Psalm 40 promises:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in Him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the heartbeat of New Song. The very next verse adds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBlessed is the one who trusts in the Lord; who does not look to the proud, nor turn aside to false gods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This chapter calls us to live unashamed and uncompromising\u2014refusing to bow to idols or empty ideologies, putting Christ first in everything. That\u2019s why the chorus declares:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will not be ashamed, neither be afraid.<br>I will not be quiet, no one can silence\u2026<br>I will not be timid; no one can limit this love!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vast majority of this track is pure Scripture. But verses 9\u201310 especially grip me: in just two lines, David says five different ways he will proclaim and will not stay silent. That\u2019s my mission too\u2014to boldly share the Gospel, unashamed, so that others can experience the same rescue I have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My prayer is that this \u201cNew Song\u201d stirs your heart to trust Him and inspires you to sing your own testimony of His saving love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please partner with us today and help reach the lost at any cost and make disciples of all nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/christafari.com\/donate\/\">Partner with us<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check out the new video for Christafari's 'New Song (Psalm 40)'.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5800,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"Check out the new video for Christafari's 'New Song (Psalm 40)'.","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/christafari.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/christafari.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/christafari.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christafari.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christafari.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5799"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/christafari.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5799\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5801,"href":"https:\/\/christafari.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5799\/revisions\/5801"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christafari.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/christafari.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christafari.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christafari.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
