As part of our anniversary service at the church camp last Sunday we came up with our own psalm of praise to celebrate our 141 years. Each inter-generational group came up with it's own section. Can you find yours?
Come rain, come shine
Come good, come bad
Your love is constant.
Celebrating together
We thank you Lord for each other
Your love is constant
Over all generations
Throughout the years
Your love is constant
A world of beauty, drama, and change
God’s love never fails
All we need for life
God’s love never fails
We thank you for family and friends
God’s love never fails
Thank you for showing us your love
God’s love never fails
And for the promise of new life
God’s love never fails
You give us your spirit as abundantly as the air we breathe
God’s love never fails
Thank you God for the family around me
Thank you God for friends around me
You are always there for us
Your arms are always around us
Thank you God for loving us
And for our Church family that surrounds us
Thank you God for special food, sun, sea, and moon
Thanks for my family
Thank you that I can play football
Thank you God for my body
Thanks you God for the ability to see and hear and feel your creation
Thanks you for all the different food
Thank you for the whole of our Church family from the youngest to the oldest
Thank you for fun and laughter
Thank you God for your sacrifice for giving us your son
Your love endures forever
God is good
God is there
He is loving
And he’s everywhere
Thanks for all you do for me
You are there through history
You love me through thick and thin
God is there in everything
It ain’t no joke
Our Father in Heaven
He loves us 24:7
You lift me up when I’m down
You show me your royal crown
We cry, you give us a dummy
You are like our heavenly mummy
Thank you God for the love you bring
Thank you God for the birds that sing
Thank you God for everything
Before the seed hit the soil
When the place was empty
God was there
As the seed sprouts
And new love begins
God is with us
As the tree shoots for the sky
Growing strong and tall
God is with us
As the rain waters the roots
And the sunshine feeds the tree
God is with us
As the winds bend the tree low
And the storm breaks its branches
God is with us
As the tree grows strong
And fruit begins to form
God is with us
As the leaves start to wither
And the tree grows old
God is with us
When the tree falls down
And all is laid bare
God will be there
