Psalm 96:1-3
“Sing God a brand-new song! Earth and everyone in it, sing! Sing to God – worship God! Shout the news of his victory from sea to sea, Take the news of his glory to the lost, news of his wonders to one and all.” (MSG)
When I read these verses, and actually the remainder of this Psalm as well, I was reminded of the old hymn, "Jesus Saves." Do you remember that hymn?
I looked up this old familiar hymn and listed just some of the lines here:
I looked up this old familiar hymn and listed just some of the lines here:
“We have heard the joyful sound,
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Spread the tiding all around,
Bear the news to every land,
Tell to sinners far and wide,
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Sing above the battle’s strife,
Sing above the battle’s strife,
By his death and endless life,
Sing in triumph ore the tomb,
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Let the nations now rejoice,
Shout salvation full and free,
This our song of victory,
Jesus saves, Jesus saves.”
It is an "old" song but the message is always new: JESUS SAVES. JESUS SAVES!
Look up all the words of this hymn and sing this old, new song to God today!
God, thank you for this good news that Jesus saves. Help me as I share that news with others. Amen.
