October 17th Reflection by Bill Lynch

Psalm 96:1-9 [10-13]
O sing to the Lord a new song;
   sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
   tell of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
   his marvellous works among all the peoples.
For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
   he is to be revered above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
   but the Lord made the heavens.
Honour and majesty are before him;
   strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
   ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
   bring an offering, and come into his courts.
Worship the Lord in holy splendour;
   tremble before him, all the earth.

[ Say among the nations, ‘The Lord is king!
   The world is firmly established; it shall never be moved.
   He will judge the peoples with equity.’
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
   let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
   let the field exult, and everything in it.
Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy
   before the Lord; for he is coming,
   for he is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,

   and the peoples with his truth.]

Reflection
Sing-Sing-Sing
   Bless-Bless-Bless
Tell-Tell-Tell

Glory-Glory-Glory
 
We sing a new song to God our Savior.
   For our God has come to us in each of our lives.
Come in a special and unique way to save each of us from sin.

We bless the Lord for all God's power and might.
   The Creator of all things is majestic and awesome in power and strength.
Our God is above all gods and due all honor, blessing, praise and glory.

We tell all those we meet of how God has saved us in our own lives.
   We tell the Gospel story of Jesus saving grace for all creation.
We tell with joy and excitement the blessing of eternal life through Jesus.

Glory to God the Father.
   Glory to God the Son.
Glory to God the Holy Spirit.

Lord, I sing a new song to you and you alone. A song of blessing, a song to tell all creation of the glory and honor and power and love you give to all that you have created... today... tomorrow... and forever. --- Amen
