Sing a New Song to the Lord

🌅 Good morning

This morning’s Bible Word is… 📖

Psalm 149:1.

“Hallelujah. Sing to the Lord a new song; sing His praise in the assembly of the saints.”

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

Praise to God has been offered from long ago until today… many songs of praise have been written and sung ❗️
…
In churches, “sacred songs” and “hymns” are sung.
…
Before that,
there was Gregorian chant.
There are also many boys’ choirs, including the Vienna Boys’ Choir, that sing in choral traditions 🎶
…
In recent years… there are also what are called “spiritual songs.”
When filled with the Holy Spirit…
some people spontaneously offer praise 🎶
…
There are lyrics that say, “Praise forever… 🎶,”
and praise to God will continue forever ❗️
…
Praise brings peace to our hearts…
fills us with joy… fills us with gratitude…
and lifts our hearts toward wanting to follow God ❗️
…
One day,
we will return to heaven,
and the time will come when we praise God together with many saints.
…
There are cases in which Christians sing praise near the end of life…
…
Some have said that just before death Jesus came to them,
or that they could clearly see heaven,
and they departed this life with gratitude.
…
What song of praise 🎶 will you carry with you when you return to heaven ❓️

Shalom 😃
