O sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things.
--Psalm 98:1
We are invited to sing a new song! Why not stick with the old favorites? Pick your style or genre of music and go to it! If you have a hankering for jazz, there's more than likely a Christian version of it. Rap and rock and roll have their Christian practioners too.
There always seems to be this incessant desire for something new. If it's not new, we might conclude, then it's out of date and, therefore, not useful. We've go to do something new -- for the sake of doing something new!
That's balderdash! We're called to sing a new song for the very good reason that God has done marvelous things. This is not to suggest that the old songs (that once were new) are bad. But singing a new song suggests that our generation employ its own creativity to rejoice in all the good our Lord has done for us.
By the way, it's not a sin if you can't hold a tune!
