Why "A New Song"?

Why the name "A New Song?" It isn't the most original, but I wanted something that was meaningful to me. I love to sing and I love my Lord. The phrase "A New Song" combines those themes and is peppered throughout the Bible.

It happened in the past.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Psalm 40:2
It happens now.
Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
Psalm 96:1-2
We know it will happen in the future because of John's revelation:
And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders
fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding
golden bowls full of incense, whic are the prayers of the saints.
And they sang a new song:
"You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals,
because you were slain, abd with your blood you
purchased nem for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.."
Revelation 5:8-9
