Friends in Christ Weekly Message
October 19, 2002

¹Sing God a brand-new song!
Earth and everyone in it, sing!
²Sing to God - worship God!

Shout the news of his victory from sea to sea,
³Take the news of his glory to the lost,
News of his wonders to one and all!

⁴For God is great, and worth a thousand Hallelujahs.
His terrible beauty makes the gods look cheap;
⁵Pagan gods are mere tatters and rags.

God made the heavens -
⁶Royal splendor radiates from him,
A powerful beauty sets him apart.

⁷Bravo, God, Bravo!
Everyone join in the great shout: Encore!
In awe before the beauty, in awe before the might.

⁸Bring gifts and celebrate,
⁹Bow before the beauty of God,
Then to your knees - everyone worship!

¹⁰Get out the message - God Rules!
He put the world on a firm foundation;
He treats everyone fair and square.

¹¹Let's hear it from Sky,
With Earth joining in,
And a huge round of applause from Sea.

¹²Let Wilderness turn cartwheels,
Animals, come dance,
Put every tree of the forest in the choir -

¹³An extravaganza before God as he comes,
As he comes to set everything right on earth,
Set everything right, treat everyone fair.
[Psalm 96 (Message*)]
