Today I am singing and rejoicing because—
We are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses
We are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses
We are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses
Thank you, God!
Now, please God, compel us to lean into this promise with hope and trust
Compel us to work in light of this promise with perseverance and grace
Compel us to live in response to this promise with joy and gratitude
For your creation’s sake
For your people’s sake
For your love’s sake
Amen
