How shall we sing the LORD's song

         in a foreign land?

                   Psalm 137. 4

(In strange and unexpected places

      and among unlikely people,

every which way we can,

    all the words and melodies,

    every language, every key,

to bring hope wherever we are

    and point others to the Almighty.

Singing is a form of worship

   and singing helps us to remember

                His faithfulness.

Our strength and joy are in the LORD.

What are we listening to?

What are we singing

          in what we say and do,

          even in our attitudes?)

O LORD,

Help us to sing in harmony with You,

        to sing a new song,

   and not bring discord to this place.

Fill us, dear God,

          with melodies of hope, joy,

          peace and love

that we may sing into the darkness

     and bring Your name

     to those who do not yet

                  know You.

May Your song that never ends

   be engraved on repeat

   in our hearts.
