My soul, O Lord, your wondrous work beholds

Representative Text

1. My soul, O Lord, your wondrous work beholds
and sings unending psalms of praise.
The boundless universe and all it holds
reveal the beauty of your ways.
Now sings my soul a new song of adoration,
with all Creation.

Refrain
Now sings my soul a new song,
yes, a new song for the Lord!

2. My soul, O Lord, is breathing free once more,
for you unburdened it of sin.
In song, my gratitude and love outpour,
as grace and mercy flooded in.
Now sing my soul a new song, a proclamation
of my salvation. (Refrain)

3. My soul, O Lord, cries out in joy today!
It dances in the morning dew.
The darkness of the night has passed away.
Your light is making all things new.
Now sings my soul a new song, a celebration
of transformation. (Refrain)

4. My soul, O Lord, is deeply moved to share
good news of all your grace has done,
to yoin my voice with people everywhere,
the many praising you as one.
Now sings my soul a new song, an invitation
to congregation. (Refrain)
