Your Verse in the Song

Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.   

                                                                                   Psalm 98:1

Imagine that I asked you to write a new verse to a great hymn of faith like Amazing Grace or How Great Thou Art.  This is exactly what the scriptures call us to do—to add a new verse to the old old song of God’s saving love.  

Along with singing the old verses that tell what God has done in ages past, you and I are to sing our new verse, telling those around us what God is doing in our lives and our world today.  It’s not enough for us to talk about what the Apostle Paul said, or great scholars have said, or our parents have said, or even what our church has said.  We must sing a new song, sharing with others that God is alive and at work in us. 

What is your verse of the song?  Can you put it in words?  It may be your most effective witness you can share with those who need to know Christ.
