sing it, baby!

Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.

– Psalm 96:1-2

Song reference!!

I will celebrate, sing unto the Lord

Sing to the Lord a new song

I will celebrate, sing unto the Lord

Sing to the Lord a new song

With my heart rejoicing within

With my mind focused on Him

With my hands raised to the heavens

All I am worshiping Him

And then there were the Grammys.

Many people will be glued to their TV on January 28th.  

A Grammy is an honor awarded by The Recording Academy to recognize outstanding achievement in the music industry.

I had to google the 84 categories, because quite honestly, I did not know if there was an award for Christian music, and I am happy to report that there are 5:

·         Best Gospel Performance/Song – added in 2015

·         Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song – added in 2015

·         Best Gospel Album – added in 2012

·         Best Contemporary Christian Music Album – added in 2012

·         Best Roots Gospel Album – added in 2015

I know that Christian music has been around way longer than 2012, this just proves that there is an opportunity for musicians in our generation.

The music industry has become a parody of itself, substituting style over substance (yes, I know, if it’s too loud, I am too old – I grew up with the hair bands!).

There is a great need for artists who can sing to the LORD a new song, going beyond the current categories of music set up by marketing companies. God has a new song for the earth.

Can you hear it?

Have a blessed day!
