SINGING A NEW SONG What song Are you singing With your thoughts And with your actions Through life WHEN people are interacting With you in life What are they hearing HOPEFULLY it is a song Of joy-peace-and LOVE- Of trust-kindness-and gratitude And NOT a song Of sadness-anxiety- And constant complaining “SING to the Lord A new song Who has done WONDROUS NEEDS” Psalm 98:1 If we are the ones That are singing Of sadness and sorrow MAYBE it is time again To get IN TOUCH With our God Who can indeed Perform “WONDROUS DEEDS” Maybe it really is time To sing A NEW SONG “I will sing The Lord's PRAISE For he has Been GOOD to me” Psalm 13:6 “I will sing Of the Lord's - Great love forever And my mouth I will make Your faithfulness known Through ALL generations” Psalm 89:1 I can't speak For you But I can tell you God has indeed PERFORMED WONDROUS DEEDS in my life He HELPED me Off of my deathbed Three times in 1977 He has KEPT me going Through seven operations And day after day of pain He has given me A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY And so many friends That I can hardly count that high And he has kept me going financially Through others My God is THE GOD OF MIRACLES “You are the God WHO PERFORMS MIRACLES You display your power Among the peoples” Psalm 77:14 So look back At your life I am sure God has performed SOME WONDROUS DEEDS In your life SING a new song Unto the Lord Thank God If you have health Thank God If you have a devoted spouse And beautiful children Thank God If you are financially solvent Don't take your life For granted Thank God FOR YOUR LIFE SING A NEW SONG DON'T get bogged down By page 1 in the newspaper In today's world Look further back For a shorter-more-heart-warming story Our God Is a God of wonder “Let them give thanks To the Lord For his UNFAILING LOVE And his WONDERFUL DEEDS For mankind” Psalm 109:31 Dear Lord-WE PRAY That we learn to appreciate The marvelous deeds You are performing In our life-and in the world Help us To SING A NEW SONG Of joy and gratitude And LOVE and kindness With our lives Robert P.
