In this Thanksginving season, this song of David is truly appropriate. We can take no good thing for granted, but in everything give thanks to God. Chad gives a beautiful meditation on this passage, cautioning us from getting tied down with the cares of this world, when the true eternal riches are ours forever in Christ. Jeff Anderson sings "Tied Down".

Lyrics to "Tied Down"

When I was a child

I ran after things I cherished

Things I desired

Led to my soul despairing

When I was lost in my own little town

You sought me 

You found me

You came to me, when I was tied down

 

Chorus:

I was tied down

By my own hands

Charms had their way

I was enslaved

I was tied down

You untangled me

To Your great name

Glory and honor  Lord for eternity

To Your great name

Glory and honor  Lord for eternity

 

 

Your yoke is easy your burden is light

You Opened my eyes then You gave me sight

When I was lost in my own little town

You sought me 

You found me

You came to me, when I was tied down

 

And I will sing your praise

In my heart I’ll give you thanks

In my heart I seek your presence

And I live in Your love and grace

Under Your mercy

Under Your mercy
