Meaning & Inspiration

Sing Unto the Lord is a short song of praise built on the invitation to "sing unto the Lord a new song," a phrase found in several psalms including Psalm 96:1 and Psalm 98:1. The lyrics gather three ideas in quick succession: praise filling the temple, the title of "King of kings and the Lord of Lords," and the call to "bow down before Him."

The second verse widens the circle, saying that God "loves to hear our praises" and that all of creation is invited to sing glory to Him. A simple "Hallelujah glory to God" refrain follows each verse and gives the congregation an easy response. Because the wording is brief and repetitive, the song works well as an opening call to worship or as a link between longer songs in a set. It stays close to the language of the psalms and avoids adding new claims, so its message is clear and easy to learn: God is king, creation owes Him praise, and the fitting response is to bow and sing.
