Psalm 40:3He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.Okay. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. One can glean some basic and common concepts from the words: new song. One, the word "new" means that it is fresh and not old. This means that others will be writing these new songs. These songs should be centered around God. The new song comes from God. It is His song that he births in us. He can also birth a song during worship, at a prayer meeting, a youth group service, or wherever. The key is that we should be looking for the fresh and the new, while listening to the heart of God whisper these fresh new lyrics. Don't get me wrong. Old hymns and songs are good. They represent what God has seen us through; they build or faith too. We should also sing songs that our congregation can join in with. However, we must never forget that we also need to be willing and obedient to usher in the new song. We do not want to grieve the Holy Spirit. We want to allow the spirit of God to move freely.
Think of the love and excitement that a new puppy brings to a household. Suddenly everything is going to be ok. Everything is focused around the new puppy. In the House of God, new songs signify what God is doing. They are prophetic and life changing in nature. It's time to to usher in the new song!
