My Lord, My God - Into 2021

My Lord My God,
           As we celebrate the end of 2020
           We reflect on the lessons you have taught us.
 
We declared that 2020 would be the year of vision,
           And we clearly see that we need you.
 
Civil and social unrest rested
          Upon us like a plague of locusts;
Death and disease confounded us
          Like frogs on the Nile;
 
And we were lost
          in our homes,
                     And in our despair.
 
But you showed up and showed out!
 
You united us back with our families,
          And restored our dreams.
You gave us rest and time,
          When we didn’t know we needed it.

Through You,
          We became entrepreneurs,
           published authors, and philanthropists.
 
Through You,
          We became innovative, maximizing
          what we had and creating more with less.
 
Through You,
          We became activists, justice seekers,
          revolutionized again for change.
 
And, through You,
          We realized that grace and mercy
            is not just a God-thang…
 
          It’s a people-thang.
          It’s a love- thang.
          It’s THE- thang - that makes life worth living!
 
My Lord, My God,
          As we celebrate the end of 2020,
 
          We seek your solace and your promise,
          That as we cross this stony road into 2021,
 
          That your love will guide us,
          Your grace will cover us,
           And your mercy will save us.
 
Father, as we begin again
We love you and we adore you;

And we are grateful to start
          Anew with You
                                                                                Welcome 2021
