Psalm 105
1
Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has
done.
2 Sing to him, sing praise to
him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.
3 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the LORD
rejoice.
4 Look to the LORD and his
strength;
seek his face always.
5 Remember the wonders he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
6 you his servants, the
descendants of Abraham,
his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.
7 He is the LORD our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He remembers his covenant forever,
the promise he made, for a thousand genenerations,
9 the covenant he made with
Abraham,
the oath he swore to Isaac.
10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a
decree,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
11 “To you I will give the land
of Canaan
as the portion you will inherit.”
You
remember
We
forget
You remember
the
promises you have given us
the
blessings you shower upon us
the
covenants you made with us
We
forget
You
promise to walk beside us
in the
valleys and on the mountains
We
forget that you are present
at birth
and death
We
forget that like Abraham
You will
lead us to new places
new
moments
new
possibilities
We
forget
You remember
Give praise to the LORD, proclaim
his name;
You
remember
We
forget
We forget
You have
blessed
us with everything we need
We
forget that if we seek we will find
knock
and the door will open
ask and
will be given
We
forget you are the shepherd and we are the sheep
And in
your pastures
in your
house
our
dwelling place shall be
We
forget
You remember
let the hearts of those who seek
the LORD rejoice.
You remember
We
forget
We
forget that you placed us in this beautiful garden
this
wondrous Earth
and
commanded us to be its steward
We
forget you have called us
to leave
our fishing boats and carpenter’s shop
and
follow you
We
forget you have promised us
a room
in your mansion above
and when
the time is right
You will
come and take us home
We
forget
You
remember
He remembers his covenant forever,
the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
Praise
to you O God, who keeps his promises
Praise
to you O God, who anoints us with blessings
Praise
to you O God, who stands by his covenants
Hallelujah!
Amen.
