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 |
