How shall we sing

 Psalms 96:1-4

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;

How shall we sing a new song

How shall we marvel

at the beauty and the wonder of creation

How shall we declare the greatness of God

as the world cries out for peace

and creation weeps for healing

How shall we behold beauty

in the groans of the earth

and see the goodness of God

in the midst of suffering

By knowing that God the Creator

sits beside us, silently weeping

for all of creation

By remembering that God the Creator

has given us the means

by which to heal the earth

and to share its resources

By resolving, alongside God the Creator

to use our power for good

to counter violence with peace

and to practice love in our everyday

Knowing, remembering, resolving,

We shall sing a new song
