Psalm 136

Thank God! He deserves your thanks.
His love never quits.
Thank the God of all gods,
His love never quits.
Thank the Lord of all lords.
His love never quits.

Thank the miracle-working God,
His love never quits.
The God whose skill formed the cosmos,
His love never quits.
The God who laid out earth on ocean foundations,
His love never quits.
The God who filled the skies with light,
His love never quits.
The sun to watch over the day,
His love never quits.
Moon and stars as guardians of the night,
His love never quits.
The God who struck down the Egyptian firstborn,
His love never quits.
And rescued Israel from Egypt’s oppression,
His love never quits.
Took Israel in hand with his powerful hand,
His love never quits.
Split the Red Sea right in half,
His love never quits.
Led Israel right through the middle,
His love never quits.
Dumped Pharaoh and his army in the sea,
His love never quits.
The God who marched his people through the desert,
His love never quits.
Smashed huge kingdoms right and left,
His love never quits.
Struck down the famous kings,
His love never quits.
Struck Sihon the Amorite king,
His love never quits.
Struck Og the Bashanite king,
His love never quits.
Then distributed their land as booty,
His love never quits.
Handed the land over to Israel.
His love never quits.

God remembered us when we were down,
His love never quits.
Rescued us from the trampling boot,
His love never quits.
Takes care of everyone in time of need.
His love never quits.
Thank God, who did it all!
His love never quits!

Thank you for the green fields where I live when so many live in fields that are barren, dusty, starved of rain.
Thank you for the smell of the sea and the sound of the gulls when so many awaken to the smell of cordite and the sound of gunfire.
Thank you for the constant ebb and flow of the tide reminding me of your constant love.
Thank you for the choir of birds singing me into wakefulness every morning.
Thank you for the smell of freshly cut grass and the rows of silage put aside to feed the animals in Winter.
Thank you for the hum of a distant motor bringing the fishermen home.
Thank you for the sound of the ferry’s automated message of welcome.
Thank you for the chatter of pilgrims as they line up to board the ferry with great expectation.
Thank you for showing us your love in all you have created, in all that you sustain.
Thank you for surrounding us with images that remind us of your faithfulness.
Thank you for giving us eyes to see as You see.
Thank you for inviting us to catch glimpses of You and for giving us glimpses of our worth and wonder.
Thank you for inviting us to fall madly in love with You each new day.
Amen.
