I've been challenged by that idea for some time. Walter Brueggmann in his excellent reflections on the theology of the Psalms (I love his heart, if struggling at times with his head) notes that the "new song" is a song of salvation. <br /><br />This seems to be affirmed in Revelation 5:1-14 where in John's magnificent heavenly vision he sees all of redeemed creation in worship giving the "lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David" who looked like "a Lamb standing, as if slain" (humm...that ought to give me pause) as the only One worthy to take the sealed scroll because He "was slain, and did purchase for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation." (v.9). If that's not a song of salvation we'll never hear it, I think. <br /><br />That's worth a lifetime (or rather, eternity) of meditation I think.<br /><br />I've still got a long way to go!
