A Song for a New Reality
Commentators unanimously agree that the "new song" is a unique and extraordinary hymn of praise. It's not just another song, but a specific response to God's ultimate act of mercy: the redemption offered through Jesus Christ. As John Calvin notes, this unparalleled grace demands an unparalleled song, sung by those who have been spiritually renewed.
