Sing to the Lord a New Song!

Congrats to my friend and fellow pastor, Zac Hicks, who recently won the Church of the Servant 2010 New Psalm Contest.  Zac's new arrangement of the 100th Psalm "All People That on Earth Do Dwell" was deemed tops among entries submitted from around the world.

Zac is the Associate Pastor of Worship & Liturgy at Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church near Denver.  He is a talented musician and composer as well as a deep and biblical thinker when it comes to liturgical matters. Along with the worship team at Cherry Creek, he produced the album The Glad Sound, which is a collection of ancient hymns reset to new melodies and modern instrumentation.  Their second album, Without Our Aid, is slated to be released next September, and will include "All People That on Earth Do Dwell" as one of its songs.  In the meantime, you can check out what Zac terms "a crude demo" of the song here.
