May 9th Psalm of the Day by Bill Lynch



Based on Psalm 98


Psalm by Bill Lynch


World-wide Salvation
Look and see what God has done
Jesus has been sent to the world
In love God has saved all people
Young, old, rich and poor
Sick, healthy... all the people
From north to south and east to west
Jesus our sacrifice has come to save

Rejoice
Rejoice and gather together
Shout aloud ceaseless thanksgiving
Christ our King is Lord of all
Let your spirit be glad at what has happened
Heaven and earth come together as one
The instruments pour forth a wonderful sound
All together in celebration of God

All things are made new
See how the people are new with life
The trees and flowers open up in beauty
Dogs bark and cows moo in new life
All know of Jesus resurrection and life
All things sparkle in newness
The old act young and the sick dance
For Christ has made all things new

Sing and Praise God
Hear Choirs of Angels sing praise to God
Sing a new song to our risen King
Choirs in churches raise the roof
Congregations praise God in strong voice
The waters pour forth to grant new life
All people sing songs of glory and honor
To Christ our saving risen King

Prayer
God, you give all creation so much reason to pause and sing praises. We gather together with all the redeemed and celebrate what you have done. As you have made all things new, hear our praise and songs of joy... today... tomorrow... and forever. --- Amen
