He Loves You, Yeah--Yeah--Yeah!

I love the oldies. But my “oldies” are different from my parents’ “oldies.” My Daddy gets all reminiscent and sentimental when he hears Bing Crosby sing White Christmas. I get all excited and nostalgic over the Beatles’ She Loves You, Yeah—Yeah—Yeah!

So, it’s no wonder that the Bible says, Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth...Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things...Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music...

As the Lord does marvelous new things in each of our lives, from generation to generation, we burst into jubilant new songs of gratitude and praise!

So I’ll continue to cherish the old hymns of worship and songs of praise that have spoken to my heart for years. And as the next generation bursts into jubilant new song, I will shout for joy to the Lord, “...He loves you, yeah—yeah—yeah—yeah!”

Psalm 96:1-2; Psalm 98:1-6
