—Psalm 149
by: Leanne Lippincott.
I come from a conservative religious background. This means that I sometimes have trouble accepting the less traditional music that has slowly infiltrated modern worship services. (It took great restraint to say infiltrated and not invaded!) But verse one of this psalm says,“Sing to the Lord a new song.” It’s certainly possible to incorporate the “new” with the “old” in our worship. The trick is finding just the right balance so that neither the “traditionalists” nor the “non-traditionalists” are offended. I have a feeling that God smiles when he hears drums and guitars as well as pianos and organs.
