"Sing unto the Lord a new song." It is one of praise songs that I enjoyed singing much. The irony is in that the lyrics call to sing a new song, yet the song itself has become an old song at this age. Like all that exists, obsoletion is inevitable, all but one, and that is Christ. The Holy Spirit allows us to renew our lives daily, for the sake of His eternity.
We are so accustomed to music that is no longer than 5 minutes, and honestly, even that is considered long to our shortened attention span. Classical music, however, were much longer. Think about how great and prestigious these classical music are considered. Now, consider an even greater song, one that is in length of a lifetime, beautiful, original in every way. Such music is the lives of ours. This is the song we are to sing to the Lord. A new song, a life that becomes new in Christ. Don't scare away from writing out a masterpiece.
