What does it mean to sing a new song to the Lord?

I looked up the word New in Hebrew (chadash) – It means fresh, renewed.

The word new in Ezekiel 11:19 is the same Hebrew word used in Isaiah 42:10, it states “And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you” (KJV). God loves doing a new thing and renewing our body, soul, and spirit. When we sing Him a new song we are worshiping and praising Him but at the same time we are renewing our minds and souls by remembering the great things He has done.
