Welcome to New Song About
Us | Meet the Members | Sample
the Sounds
New Song is currently on hiatus and unavailable to present programs.
"Singing
is meant to move us into praise. It provides a medium for the
expression of emotion. Through music we express our joy, our thanksgiving.
No less than forty-one psalms command us to "sing unto the
Lord." If singing can occur in a concentrated manner it serves
to focus us. We become centered. Our fragmented minds and spirits
flow into a unified whole. We become poised toward God." To glorify God through song done to the best of our capabilities, and in so doing move others closer to God. To serve as an inspiration to your congregation! Our Structure New Song is composed of 18 multi-generational and interdenominational musicians who are capable of singing eight part a cappella harmonies. Being Christians, the first criterion is that members must love the Lord. This is paramount, as the vision is that this is a ministry. Our presentations will be worship oriented - not performances! "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." Deuteronomy 6:5 Each person involved must have a willingness to have or grow toward a strong walk with Jesus Christ, and be committed wholeheartedly to the concept of a worship leading choir. We encourage a committed prayer life, regular tithing, regular reading of the Bible, and a passion to grow in living a holy life. We do recognize that no one is perfect, just forgiven. We are all in the process of being transformed by the power of Jesus Christ in our individual lives. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God." Colossians 3:16
"Our Letter" Our songs and testimonies are written on the tablets of our hearts and our prayer is to leave our words and worship on the hearts of others. "You
yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read
by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the
result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit
of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human
hearts." A Closing Thought "I
wish to see all arts, principally music, in the service of Him
who gave and created them. Music is a fair and glorious gift of
God. I would not for the world forego my humble share of music.
Singers are never sorrowful, but are merry, and smile through
their troubles in song. Music makes people kinder, gentler, more
staid and reasonable. I am strongly persuaded that after theology
there is no art that can be placed on a level with music; for
besides theology, music is the only art capable of affording peace
and joy of the heart . . . the devil flees before the sound of
music almost as much as before the Word of God." New Song operates as an outreach ministry of New Hope Community Church. |
