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.
