Put on the garment of praise

Tonight as we looked at this passage in Isaiah, an old song that we used to sing when I was growing up kept running through my head, 'Put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, lift up Your voice to God, praise with the Spirit and with understanding, O magnify the Lord'.

It sounds kind of old-fashioned - maybe we could sing, 'put on the clothing of praise' instead, though it doesn't have the same ring.

Tonight I really GOT the first line of that song, 'Put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness'. Yes, God can replace the spirit of heaviness with a beautiful garment of praise as we look to Jesus. What an awesome God!
