Thinking about Ps. 145:10-12. "All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord, and the saints shall bless thee."
The speaking of the saints is for the express purpose of proclaiming the splendor and majesty of the Lord—"They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom and talk of thy power."
So one of our expressed purposes is to praise the Lord by speaking of his glory and power and majesty. This is why we need new praise and worship songs for each generation. Not that we reject the old songs, we should sing those as well, but writing new songs is our generation's way of praising the glory of God's kingdom; his mighty power and majesty.
You that write praise and worship songs for the church, keep writing, you are doing a good work, a God-blessed work. May we, the church, keep on singing these songs of praise until Jesus returns.
