A Sermon in Song

Sunday 5th May 202

Texts:
Psalm 98
Acts 10:44-48

Sing to the Lord a new song, a song of hope and rejoicing! 
Praise God for wonderful acts of mercy and kindness! 
God has remembered God’s faithful ones. 
God has poured blessing upon blessing upon us! 
Praise the Lord, all the earth, shout your praise! 
Rejoice, for God is truly with us. AMEN.
 
Music is a wonderful thing, with an amazing ability to capture mood and invoke memories!
Our hymn books are full of songs of praise – but life has seasons, and they do not all call for songs of rejoicing. So, where are our songs of lament? They are in the Psalms – the Psalms are full of lament and sorrow expressed around the hard times people faced: “why, O Lord” and “how long, O Lord” are common cries of the Psalmist’s heart.
