信心若没有行为就是死的。’” - 雅 2:17
听了诗人邀请我们向耶和华“唱新歌”，我也写了一首新歌，歌词配合“耶稣是我亲爱朋友”这首歌的调子。愿荣耀、尊贵、和颂赞归与神！
神藉耶稣与我为友，临到满足我需求；
基督受苦为医治我，从罪权中得释放。
牧人眼目来寻找我；被衪拥抱在怀中。
遵衪教导我得智慧，十字架下得神恩。
凡挣扎的蒙神帮助，救援众人脱贫穷，
我需以爱对待客旅，愿冒险释放他们；
齐心拆毁仇恨墙垣，直至止息争战声；
富户慷慨解囊施援，甘与穷困人分享。
饥饿孩童跪地求食，教条不能除困境，
主日敬拜条文仪式，也未能舒缓疾苦。
惟独真诚慈爱善行，方能满足人需要；
恳求圣灵感动我心，善言推行至善行。
惟愿远近所有邻舍，皆能享受神友情。
大家等待被邀赴宴，期望得到新生命。
就让我们同心携手、高声呼求和祈祷！
听从基督吩咐生活，直到公义达全地。
祷告
神啊，你以你的话语来教导我们，又在耶稣身上让我们看见我们应怎样生活，我们感谢你。求你叫我们因耶稣的缘故以善行来活出我们的信心。阿们。
诗篇 98篇
1你们要向耶和华唱新歌，因为他行过奇妙的事，他的右手和圣臂施行救恩。
2耶和华发明了他的救恩，在列邦人眼前显出公义。
3记念他向以色列家所发的慈爱、所凭的信实，地的四极都看见我们神的救恩。
4全地都要向耶和华欢乐，要发起大声欢呼歌颂！
5要用琴歌颂耶和华，用琴和诗歌的声音歌颂他，
6用号和角声在大君王耶和华面前欢呼！
7愿海和其中所充满的澎湃，世界和住在其间的也要发声！
8愿大水拍手，愿诸山在耶和华面前一同欢呼！
9因为他来要审判遍地，他要按公义审判世界，按公正审判万民。
A New Song
"Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things. . . ." - Psalm 98:1
Hearing the invitation to “sing a new song,” I’ve written one. These lyrics go with the tune for “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” To God be all glory, honor, and praise!
In Christ Jesus God befriends us, comes to meet us in our need;
by his wounded flesh Christ heals us, from the powers sets us free.
With a shepherd’s eyes he finds us; in his arms we are embraced.
Through his teaching we learn wisdom, at the cross we meet God’s grace.
God brings help for those who struggle, and relief from poverty
when we act with love toward strangers, risk ourselves to set them free;
lay the walls of hate to rubble till the cries of war are ceased;
when the rich in generous measure share with those who have the least.
Creeds cannot dispel the hunger that brings children to their knees,
nor can weekly rites of worship ease the pain of dread disease.
Only love, made real in service, reaches others in their need;
Holy Spirit, move our faith from holy words to holy deeds.
All my neighbors, near and distant, must enjoy God’s friendship too.
They are waiting to be welcomed to the feast where life’s made new.
Let us join our hands together, raise our voices, shout our prayers;
live the life that Christ commands us till there’s justice everywhere.
