Just a thought here...
When the Psalm says "Sing to the Lord a new song," is that for God? Is it because God gets bored with the old songs? Of course not! These words, and the new songs, are for us! Some of us love the "good ol' hymns" because they're comfortable. But comfort leads to idle worship (pun intended). If you've known a song for years inside and out, you don't think about the words or the tune anymore. You just sing it out and let it wash over you. While there might be a place for that on occasion, God prefers worship that involves "all your heart, all your mind, all your soul, and all your strength!"
So stop complaining about "too many new songs" or longing for all your old favorites! Engage your whole being in singing to the Lord new songs!
