New Song

x

Sing to the Lord

a new song

All right

A new song

And what shall make it new

New arrangement

Instruments we rarely

Have in church

Maybe there should be dancing

Like

The king’s before the ark

As it was taken

Across Jerusalem

(risking disapproval

of the court

the queen)

x

Maybe not

A psalm

Of normalcy at all

By that I mean

New words

Phrased by us

And our understanding

A gift today

And as a record

Kept in legacy

With the music of

The music master

(female

or male)

x

What we keep

Because we made it

With a notation

Of the first time

It was read

It was played

It was sung

It was danced

(if you want a story of the queen risking the disapproval of the king, then read Esther)
