O sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand and his holy arm have gained him victory. The Lord has made known his victory; he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations. He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises. Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody. With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord. Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who live in it. Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing together for joy at the presence of the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity. (Psalm 98, NRSV)
Have you ever been annoyed with the new hymn or song in worship?
Why do we have to sing this?
We don’t know it!
We’ve never done this before!
It is true doing new things is hard. Change is not easy, but wait just a minute and reread the psalm above…
O sing to the Lord a NEW song!
God doesn’t want the same old same old!
God wants you to be ready at a moments notice to do something new! Something different.
He is not content with the tired and true, but wants us to soar on the wind and sing to Him a new song!
