Day 6 of the 7 in 7 songwriting challenge; I’ve never written a call-and-response song, so I thought I’d give it a go. This call to worship is based on Psalm 96 (the first time through is the C&R version – with a very reluctant Peta helping out as a makeshift congregation! – the second is straight through – preferences?)

Here are the lyrics:

Verse:

Come and sing a song to the Lord
Come, you people, bless his name
Sing about his salvation
For he is greatly to be praised

Chorus:

We will sing among the nations
That our God reigns!
The forests and the fields
Will join in the refrain.
When he comes in righteousness
The seas will roar;
Let the earth rejoice before the Lord
