We’ve had three posts with reflections on the five short verses of Psalm 100<\/em><\/strong>. As a quick recap, the psalm’s AB-AB pattern makes two foundational truths very clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:    Celebrate and praise God<\/a> (verses 1 and 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B1:    (because) we are His<\/a> (verse 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:    Celebrate and praise God (verse 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B2:    (because) He loves us<\/a> (verse 5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a bonus post to give you time to reflect on the psalm from a musical perspective. I suggest you read the psalm, spend some time reflecting on how it affects you as a ministry leader, and then watch the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hymn<\/strong> tune will be quite familiar because it is the one we sing the Doxology to (Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow<\/em>). But the tune itself is called “Old One Hundred<\/em><\/strong>” and was composed as the setting for a paraphrase of Psalm 100. The words to the hymn will scroll along with the music. Sing along! When the hymn concludes, there is a celebratory musical finale based on the hymn tune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 100<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
\n2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
\ncome before him with joyful songs.
\n3 Know that the Lord is God.
\nIt is he who made us, and we are his;
\nwe are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
\n4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
\nand his courts with praise;
\ngive thanks to him and praise his name.
\n5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
\nhis faithfulness continues through all generations. (NIV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
