"I waited patiently for the Lord, he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord. Psalm 40: 1-3

I can't say I was in a slimy pit exactly, but bogged down might describe my life. (I guess a bogg is kind of a slimy pit.) Reading this passage a couple of days ago led me to some new thinking, a "new song." What will this song look like? Is it a solo or meant for a group/choir? Who is the audience? Is it one or many verses? Well, I guess I don't have to have all the answers at this time. I do want to listen to the Lord since these verses indicate that he is the giver of the song and that's the kind of song I want to sing.

If anyone else is hearing a "new song," I would love to know. Join me in this blog, (not bogg,) and let's see if some harmony develops.

    Welcome to the blogosphere JQ!

    I like the question about what the new song will be like - I envision a choir for the introit, a praise band for a backbeat and, of course, a solo by Jesus!

    And, of course, if the sound was a little like the Beach Boys that would work well for you. :)
