The Song That Never Ends

 

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

(In the Biblical sense,

hope is not wishful thinking,

but that on which

       we can stake our lives.

We each carry with us

   a chronicle of His faithfulness,

the imprint of His steadfast love.

Remember that,

    bring that reality to mind,

      even now,

      even in this.

We do not go it alone.

Do not fear. I am with you.

    Follow Me into this.)

O LORD,

You are great.

You are mighty.

You have walked with us

      a long long way.

And You are still with us

    in what we face today.

Please help us to remember

    that we can trust You.

You are with us,

              even now.

You don't just show up.

   You are already here.

May the words of this song

   get stuck in our heads

on a continual loop.
