Up
in the morning I woke up with a song, but I interpret in sign language to “Oh
tell (announce), me glad.” First English then second ASL song. It felt like the
Holy Spirit encouraged me to have a glad heart through singing this song. I
remember this song when I was a teenager and my mom would play the piano.
At
that time, I wore hearing aid and could carry the tune pretty good. My three hearing brother who could not “sing”
didn’t believe a deaf sister could carry the tune. Three brothers showed up when my mother started to play the piano. They listened
to my singing and were shocked. “Our
deaf sister could sing? And we can’t sing a tune? How?” I don’t know
but that’s the only one time song I could do that. If someone asked me if I
could do that now. My answer is no because as I got older I became completely
deaf and cannot hear the music at all.
I
still have the music in my spirit because of so many memories while
growing up so Holy Spirit knew to bring up the song He choose to remind
me to sing to Him. It often happened during the night while I was asleep. It’s an awesome experience that Holy Spirit
is still active and keeping us in tune with God.
Song: Oh, Say, But I’m
Glad
1.
There is a song in my heart today,
Something
I never had;
Jesus
has taken my sins away;
Oh
say, but I’m glad!
Chorus:
Oh
say, but I’m glad, I’m glad;
Oh
say, but I’m glad!
Jesus
has come
and my cup over-run;
Oh
say, but I’m glad!
2.
Wonderful, marvelous love He brings
Into
a heart that’s sad;
Thro’
darkest tunnels the soul just sings,
Oh
say, but I’m glad!
(Next
Chorus)
(James P. Sullivan, Sing
His Praise)
ASL
chorus: Oh say= O tell (announced)
O
, , tell, me glad, me glad . .
O
. . tell, me glad . . .!
Jesus
finished come
and my heart fully flow;
O
. . tell, me glad . . . !
[Only intend in ASL)
What
was the reason to be glad? Another song gives an answer:
Song: “Twas a Glad Day
When Jesus Found Me.”
‘Twas
(It was) a glad day when Jesus found me;
When
His strong arms were thrown around me,
When
my sins He buried in the deepest sea,
And
my soul He filled with joy and victory,
‘Twas
a glad day, O hallelujah!
‘Twas
a glad day He claimed His own;
I
will shout a glad hosanna in glory
When
I see Him upon His throne.
(Albert Simpson Reitz,
Sing His Praise)
Oh,
may the Lord bless you today!
