"Come Sing for Joy" serves as a joyous response of worship to the revelation of all that God has done on our behalf. Its foundation is in the language of the imperative of the opening strains of Psalm 98, “Sing to the Lord a new song for he has done marvelous things. His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.” (Psalm 98:1).

The first verse focuses on creation’s praise (Psalm 98:7-8) and invites the worshiper to join with all creation in lifting this song of God’s salvation. The chorus sings of God’s deliverance of all things through Jesus and his ultimate deliverance as the King who will come again. The second verse invites the worshiper to sing over those who cannot, at this time, sing this song for themselves (the lost, the least, the weak, the poor), while the final chorus points to the day when all will be put to right and God’s justice will be made known to all of creation. And the party at the end of this song represents the joy yet to come. This is a song meant not just to be heard, but to be joined. So turn it up and come sing for joy.
