A Brand New Song

 

Four of the Psalms instruct those who love God to sing a new song. Isaiah 42:10 repeats the command. Two times in the book of Revelation, heavenly worshipers are said to be singing a new song.

The group, Love Song, took those Scriptures seriously...and literally.

Sing unto the heavens with a brand new song

The one that we've been hearing's been a hit too long

The lyrics sound confused as if they don't belong

So sing unto the Lord and sing with feeling

And sing a song of love

And sing a song of gladness

Much too long our music

Has been filled, filled with sadness

Sing unto the heavens with a brand new song

Sing unto the Lamb with voices clear and strong

Tell a world that's waited now for much too long

All the truths that God has been revealing

And sing a song of praise

And sing a song of gladness

Much too long our music

Has been filled, filled with sadness

(Chuck Girard - Fred Field)

Truth is...Our world today could certainly use more love and gladness. May our lives be songs of praise that counteract the sadness and discord that permeates so much of the current culture.
