Sing Unto the Lord a New Song

I don't think David was thinking we need to sing different words, lyrics or even familiar lyrics to a new tune when he penned these familiar words in Psalm 96:1.  In fact, he may not have even been thinking of music at all.  Our lives speak volumes of God's working without words being spoken.  And as we are continually sanctified daily through His Word, and His grace and mercy in our lives, we do have more to praise Him for each and every day.  Thus, we have a "new song" to offer to Him to close each day.

This morning, we will be singing a new song entitled Never Once.  Here are the lyrics:

Never Once by Matt Redman

Standing on this mountaintop
Looking just how far we've come
Knowing that for every step
You were with us

Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You've done
Knowing every victory
Is Your power in us

Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say

Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Carried by Your constant grace
Held within Your perfect peace
Never once, no, we never walk alone

Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Every step we are breathing in Your grace
Evermore we'll be breathing out Your praise
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
