Marty Goetz is a Messianic Jewish psalmist and pianist. This troubadour has written some of the most beautiful music I've been fortunate enough to put my ear to.
While it may not have that modern worldly pop sound like most Christian pop music, it's from the heart and made to glorify God as its sole purpose, in contrast to much of today's modern Christian music which I've found to often emphasize entertainment over worship. Marty's music really captures the heart of the psalmist - a true heart of David.
I just got a hold of Marty's new album, Hope of Glory. Perhaps my favorite from the album is this beautiful rendition of Psalm 1. Have a listen and be blessed and renewed by it!
Marty Goetz - Psalm 1.mp3
Just listening to the chorus, "He delights in the Law of the Lord" reminds me of how far we've strayed from the the psalmist. Today's theology dictates we look at the Law as a superfluous burden, inducive to legalistic critics.
How differently the psalmist saw it! How blessed -- how truly happy with real joy! -- is the man who delights in the Law of the Lord. Hallel l'Yahweh! Day and night he meditates on all that's righteous, desiring nothing more than to delight in the law of the Lord.
Father, that is my desire, may I always delight in your ways and in your righteous instruction.
