Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who sing a new song to the Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Hymns that combine familiar melodies and lyrics with a message warm hearts.
Likewise, praise songs and newer songs with warm sentiments inspire genuine worship.
The fellowship I attend offers three services every Sunday with three different musical styles. In one service there are hymns, another has both praise songs and hymns, and still another has very contemporary worship music.
Psalm 40:3 (ESV) reminds us the goal of sacred music is praise.
“He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord.”
The result is a person trusting the Lord.” Take a moment and think of a favorite song. Right now hum or sing praise to the Lord.
