Sing To The Lord A New Song

There is just something about singing song to the Lord.  We can sing an old Hymn, a worship song, a song of praise, or we can sing a new song that lifts up the name of the Lord.  When we sing a song to the Lord something happens deep within our very hearts.  Certain verses will touch us right where we need it.  They can speak to us like nothing else can.  It is important that we do sing to the Lord.  We aren't out to become some well known singer, but we are to sing out to the One who loves us with an everlasting love.

When we think about all that God has done for us.  When we consider that He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ into this world to save us sinners, isn't that worth singing about.  Our Lord has done so much good for us and He is still at work in our lives.  It should make us just want to shout out to Him words of praise.

When we think of all the good things the Lord blesses us with we should sing and shout out songs of praise and worship Him.  What an Awesome God we serve.  He is worthy of all of our praise. 

Psalm 98 says,

"1 Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.
