A New Song to Sing

I want to be a singer of new songs.

A new song can’t be kept in.

It has to burst out and be heard.

What it says is relevant and important ...right now.

For you and others.

 

A new song isn’t just a silly poem.

It’s full of life and liberty.

It beckons for people to listen.

It has to be released.

A new song brings change to the atmosphere.

It has an inviting personality.

It isn’t negative or humdrum.

It begins, starts, initiates, a happy dance.

A new song marks a new beginning.

It says “This is a new day.”

It causes movement in our bodies and souls.

Others listen and join in.

What in your life is asking for you to sing?

Where do you need healing?

What feels trapped and is begging to be uncaged?

Are you desperate for breakthrough?

Sing, my friend.

Just sing a new song.

Sing out of your pain until you can feel peace.

Sing in the darkness until you can see the light.

Sing for your freedom! Sing for your joy!

Just sing.

Paul and Silas were beaten and then imprisoned in chains...but they didn’t give up hope…. they sang!

King Jehosophat’s soldiers were facing an overwhelming army of enemies...but they didn’t fight….they sang!

Mary was young, single, and miraculously carrying the son of God….but she didn’t worry about what other people might think...she sang!

It’s no coincidence to me that these examples all resulted in the same thing…..

a mighty display of God’s power on this earth!

Paul and Silas' songs to heaven caused an earthquake that broke off their chains!

God used the army of Judah’s praise and worship to ambush the enemy and defeat them!

Mary's song of thanksgiving to God gave her hope as she went through her pregnancy and eventually gave birth to the Savior of the world!

Find your song and give it a name.

Claim God’s promises and set them to a tune.

You’ll be amazed at the freedom that will come.

Let’s give God the glory for all He has done in our lives today.

And sing a new song about it!  
 

“He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD.”- Psalm 40:3
