This litany is inspired by Psalm 136 and written to be part of a worship service kicking off the new school year. In reflection, it became clear that this new school year represents so much more than the physical act of going to and from the school building, so I wanted to be sure to use words that represent the full meaning of a new year for all of us, no matter how that may look.
When we do not understand
Your steadfast love endures forever.
When everything seems broken
Your steadfast love endures forever.
When the future is uncertain
Your steadfast love endures forever.
With each turn of the new year
Your steadfast love endures forever.
With each hope of fresh starts
Your steadfast love endures forever.
With each song of praise
Your steadfast love endures forever.
Where we learn
Your steadfast love endures forever.
Where we teach
Your steadfast love endures forever.
Where we are One Body
Your steadfast love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of all creation
Your steadfast love endures forever.
