For you shall go out in joy <\/em>
and be led forth in peace;<\/em>
the mountains and the hills before you<\/em>
shall break forth into singing,<\/em>
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.<\/em> – Isaiah 55:12<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, \u201cTeacher, rebuke Your disciples.\u201d  He answered, \u201cI tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.\u201d  Luke 19:39-40<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. <\/em>– 1 Timothy 1:17<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe. <\/em> – Hebrews 12:28<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old hymns of my childhood are among my favorite worship songs. Too many to list here. It’s rare to hear them these days which makes me a bit sad. We sing them at home, and that is a comfort. Then during my children’s growing up years, we enjoyed a resurgence of hymns – more modern melodies but with rich theology – In Christ Alone<\/a><\/em> and Be Thou My Vision<\/a><\/em> are two of those our whole family still knows the lyrics by heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One such worship song, released in 2020, is becoming a new favorite. Christ Be Magnified<\/strong><\/em>. The music is easy to engage, and the lyrics are deep and convicting. Written by songwriters who clearly know Christ, love to worship the Lord, and are strongly motivated to bring others along with them in worship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
