This joyous and happy music by David Meese makes me think of Psalm 96:1 - "O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth." It is about new birth in the Lord; He gives us a kind of heart transplant. It is also a new praise worship song to our family. Meese's childhood was tragic in many ways, but God has restored him and is using him! (see My Father's Chair, December, 2010) With an violent, drug and alcohol-addicted father, he became rebellious and destructive, but his Heavenly Father rescued him as Rest Of My Life (screen below) testifies wonderfully!
Here is a link to the story/testimony aired on Focus on the Family: http://listen.family.org/daily/A000002819.cfmLyrics:
Lord, you mercy came, and it made me sing
With all my heart
Blessed be the name of the One who brings
Such a fresh new start
Ah, now the air smells clean
And the grass looks green, the sky looks bluer
Than I have ever seen
You have made my sweetest dream come true
And I want to live for you
For the rest of my life, for the rest of my life
And I want to give to you
All the rest of my life, all the rest of my life
Lord, You've proved again, You're love extends
To the deepest need
When I hit the end, You're love begins
And from there you lead
Lead through an open door
To a golden shore... a royal kingdom
Where my heart explores
And the more I learn, the more I sing
And I want to live for you
For the rest of my life, for the rest of my life
And I want to give to you
All the rest of my life, all the rest of my life
