God’s Word (the Bible) has many instructions for us … which if we follow and obey these instructions, we will be blessed. One of my favorites of these instructions is: Sing to God a new song.
Isaiah 42:10 – “Sing to the LORD a new song … .”
Revelation 5:9, 11-12 – “And they sang a new song … Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang …”
Psalm 96:1-2 – “Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. Sing to the LORD, praise His name.”
Psalm 33:1,3 – “Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; … sing to Him a new song.”
Psalm 40:3 – “He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.”
This week God has given me a fabulous new song to sing to Him! You see, I discovered CeCe Winan’s newest album release. And the first opening song absolutely captivated me!
I’m a “words” person, so the contrasts were spectacular in capturing just how great and amazing Jesus is! I just have to share it with you.
Lord and Friend
– by CeCe Winans
I’m amazed that You can be
so many things for me.
Everything at the same time!
The perfect one-of-a-kind!
How do you sit so high?
And stay close by my side?
How do you never change?
But new every morning!
King of the world! Yet lowly in heart.
There ’til the end. You’re there from the start.
You are the lion and the lamb.
Both God and man.
Lord! And you’re my friend! Jesus!
Sun in the morning light. Protector at night.
Cloud and fire.
Lover and fighter.
Peace and power.
Over me you reign. But still you feel my pain.
Man of sorrow. Joy for tomorrow.
Amazing!
King of the world! Yet lowly in heart.
There ’til the end. You’re there from the start.
You are the lion and the lamb.
Both God and man.
Lord! And you’re my friend! Jesus!
Alpha and Omega.
Beginning and End.
Everlasting Father. My Lord and friend!
