The Lord has surrounded me with lovingkindness and the song of salvation.

As I was steering the boat back to shore,

after scattering the ashes of our first-born baby, Charis,

my beloved wife Jane, who was sitting at the front of the boat, suddenly turned to me,

the one steering the boat from behind, and said, "Titanic."

At that moment, seeing the tears streaming down her face,

I found myself praising the incredible and amazing love of the Lord's salvation from my heart,

bursting out through my lips without even realizing it.

However, as I was reading Psalm 32, verses 7 and 10 made me reflect on that moment again.

It made me realize: ‘At that time, the Lord surrounded me with His lovingkindness

and covered me with the song of salvation.’

Therefore, because the eternal lovingkindness of the Lord is greater than Charis’ 55 days of her life,

The Spirit made my lips praise His marvelous and wonderful love of salvation (Ps. 63:3).
