Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

 

Do you sing? This is a question that can produce a variety of answers and editorial comments.

 

But this morning I want to ask another question "WHY do you sing?"

 

There are two reasons for you and I to sing today - and every day of our lives:

 

1. Christ controls what and when things happen. The book can only be opened by Him and will not be opened until He decides.

 

2. Christ has redeemed us by His blood. We are saved, born again, adopted, secure, free, justified, sanctified, redeemed, bought with a price, a child of God, all because of the blood He shed for us

 

You might not consider yourself choir material but that should not stop any of us from singing from our hearts to the One and for the One that saved us!

 

Sometime today - take the time - find a place (even if you feel you must do this out of earshot of others) - and sing a song of praise.

 

 

TO GOD BE THE GLORY

 

To God be the glory great things he hath done! So love He the world that he gave us His Son,

 

Who yielded His life an atonement for sin and opened the Lifegate that all may go in.

 

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the earth hear His voice!

 

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the people rejoice!

 

O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son, and give Him the glory great things He hath done.
