Today’s hymn focus will be “Sing to the King”

Psalm 96:1-2 (NASB95)              

Sing to the Lord a new song; Sing to the Lord, all the earth.  

Sing to the Lord, all the bless His name;

Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.”

This hymn was originally written in the early 1900’s by Charles Sylvester Horne,  the youngest child of Charles and Harriet. He grew up to become a renowned preacher and author, writing hymns that are still sung today.

This is where Billy Foote comes in. He began leading worship after graduating from East Texas Baptist University in 1990. Sadly, he was stricken with hyper-dysphonia, a condition that affected his vocal cords, around 2000, his wife Cindy took over the lead vocals as he continued to write worship songs. He took this classic hymn and gave it a modern style.

Sing to the King Who is coming to reign,

Glory to Jesus the Lamb that was slain

Life and salvation His empire shall bring,

And joy to the nations when Jesus is King

We need to wake up and lift up our voices every day in worship of the One that gave His everything so that we might have life and have it to the fullest. Billy may have lost his ability to sing, but he gave the church songs that remind us why we are to sing!
