When Claude was twelve years old he got tuberculosis. He began singing a new song as his family prayed for his recovery.
He sang that no grave could hold his body down. He sang about bands of angels coming for him to take him to Jesus.
The Lord loves to foil the dastardly deeds of the devil.
So did Claude as he received his healing.

Psalms 96:1 KJV
O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

The Enemy wants us silent, scared and thinking we are powerless and letting the Lord use and work through us to foil those plans is a joy.
