Psalm 136:1-5
Give thanks to the Lord, for his is good.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.
to Him who alone does great wonders,
His love endures forever.
who by His understanding made the heavens
His love endures forever.
I love this Psalm. In college we sang it....the worship leader or soloist would sing a line then we would respond with "His love endures forever". At verse 10 the psalm begins to list specific things that God did for Israel....delivering them from Egypt, giving them their promised land and freeing them from their enemies. And every other line throughout this psalm is..."His love endures forever!" God has been so good to us throughout this RADical journey of ours.....I could make my own list.
To the One who gave to me my spouse
His love endures forever
To the one who saved our 1st born son
His love endures forever
O give thanks for provision
His love endures forever
To the one who gives (birth) and takes away (miscarriage)
His love endures forever
To Him alone who gives new life (another birth)
His love endures forever
O Give thanks for how he worked things out
His love endures forever
By His understanding placed this family here
His love endures forever
To Him alone who created adoption
His love endures forever
that would show us a picture of His family
His love endures forever
To the God who shows us how to love
His love endures forever
To Him who made us ONE family
His love endures forever
Hallelujah, Hallelu
The Lord Jehovah reigns
He is the same from age to age
His love will never change!!
AMEN
