Sing a New Song
(NIV) Ps 96:1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
Rev 14:3 They sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders, but no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.
As someone who grew up in the church, my twin and I sat between two aunts, one who sang alto and the other soprano. Songs like “Higher Ground,” “I’ll Fly Away,” and “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” were staples in church and we learned all of the words by heart.
Yes, singing has always brought me joy, and one day there will be a new song AND we will be given new names. How great is that? But until then, I lean on songs that strengthen and uplift me, and you can too! There are a multitude of songs that have a scriptural basis like this one by the Gaithers.
Hold on, my child (hold on, my child)
Joy comes in the morning
Weeping only last for the night
Hold on, my child (hold on, my child)
Joy comes in the morning
The darkest hour means dawn is just in sight.
Let music lift your soul out of life’s difficulties. Even more importantly, learn some scriptures of faith and speak them over and over until you are lifted in your most high faith.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
