Need for New

"He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God" (Psalm 40:2,3). "No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better" (Luke 5:39).

Out of that old and that horrible pit,
And out of that old miry clay!
On to the rock and a path that is lit
With light in God's saving new way!

Gone is the curse of the old Law and letter!
God gave to my heart a new song!
He who insists that old is still better
Is hopelessly, utterly wrong!
