A New Song

(To be sung with a clap and a shout)

Sing a joyful song to the Lord, all the earth!

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!"(Psalm 150:6)

Let the river clap its hands,

let the mountains skip like rams,

for the King of Glory takes His stand!

"Lift up your heads, O you gates!"(Psalm 24:7)

Break the silence with a sound,

on the temple trumpet ground!

"Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth!"(Psalm 100:1)

We were mourning,bent and low,

but a River now does flow—

from the desert,life does grow!

"The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy!"(Psalm 126:3)

Dance before Him like the dawn,

every chain of shame is gone!

"You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy!"(Psalm 30:11)

For the prison doors are broke

by the Word the Father spoke,

in my spirit,now awoke—

a living,laughing, leaping hope!

Sing a joyful song to the Lord, all you saints!

It’s a weapon,it’s a feast, it’s a holy unrestraint!

When the darkness pressed its claim,

we called upon His holy name,

and the victory came—

"At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow!"(Philippians 2:10)

So let melody be your might,

in the morning,in the night.

"Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise!"(James 5:13)

For our God is not a ghost,

He is Host of heaven’s host,

and the thing we celebrate the most:

The stone was rolled away from the tomb’s door!

He is risen evermore!

Hallelujah! Raise the sound!

Let the joyful song resound!

"Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things!"(Psalm 98:1)

With the angels,with the sea,

for all time and eternity,

let the anthem ever be:

"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,

who was, and is, and is to come!"(Revelation 4:8)

Sing!

Sing a joyful song!
