But this

    I call to mind,

and therefore I have hope:

The steadfast love of the LORD

                     never ceases,

His mercies never come to an end;

they are new every morning;

great is Your faithfulness.

                  Lamentations 3. 21-23

(No matter what is swirling around

                or pulling us down,

remember this:

God's sings His steadfast love over us,

                             never ceasing,

                  even now,

                  even in this.

God is faithful and loving and kind.

God redeems.)

O LORD,

Even in what we see,

even in what we cannot yet see

                     or imagine,

      Your love never ceases.

Help us to not just remember that,

     but to sing that immovable hope

                       into our days.

May our refrain be the words in our mouths

          and the melody in our hearts,

the song that never ends.
