sing! sing! sing!

"I will sing of your steadfast love, O LORD, forever; 
    with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness 
     to all generations." Psalm 89:1

we sing your steadfast love
when we make sure hungry kids
are fed before the powerbrokers.
we sing your constant love
as we come together to build
affordable housing for the vulnerable.
we sing your never-ending love
when we refuse to take 'no'
for the answer when seeking
justice for all the forgotten.
we sing your abiding love
when we open the eyes of the world
to see the innocents on all sides
of broken promises and angry responses.
we sing your relentless love
when we stop trying to rewrite 
the lyrics so the song is all about us.
