Psalm 96:1-2 

Sing a new song to the Lord!
    Let the whole earth sing to the Lord!
 Sing to the Lord; praise his name.
    Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.

I Will Sing a New Song

by Howard Thurman 

The old song of my spirit has wearied itself out.

It has long ago been learned by my heart;

It repeats itself over and over,

bringing no added joy to my days or lift to my spirit.

I will sing a new song.

I must learn the new song for the new needs.

I must fashion new words born of all the new growth

of my life - of my mind - of my spirit.

I must prepare for new melodies that have never been mine before,

that all that is within me may lift my voice unto God.

Therefore, I shall rejoice with each new day

and delight my spirit in each fresh unfolding.

I will sing, this day, a new song unto the Lord.
