Sunday Psalms;

Sing a new song to the Lord! 

Let the whole earth sing to the Lord!

Sing to the Lord; 

praise his name. 

Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.

Psalms 96:1-2 NLT

Psalms 95 started with singing too...makes me wonder if there's something in music that connects us to God - something about connecting the ideas in the song with our emotions, and the embodiment of that with our singing.

This song encourages us to keep writing new ones, write our own.

Yes enjoy others, but writing our own psalm, our own song, there's something in writing our own ideas about God, writing to Him.

This song says to sing new songs, to sing them to our God, to do that together.

And the content?

To praise His Name. 

To proclaim that He saves. 

He is our salvation. 

What a great idea to rest in, to sing about this Sunday morning. 

He saves.

Not me. Not my pastor, mentor, parent, friend, favourite author, worship leader or songwriter. 

He saves.

We get to rest today in the Bigger Story that we're part of, just like the writer of Psalm 96, and we get to write our songs that praise His Name, maybe that song is words on a page, an act of kindness, a generous heart, a stepping towards someone in need...songs can look different but all sing praise to the One who Saves.
