       New every morning is God's love,
              Poured out on us, washing away the past,
       Shining hope on our path, renewing the earth,
              And awakening joy deep within us!
       Great is God's faithfulness, a watchful eye in times of trouble.
              God's mercy never ends. We sing our praise and gratefulness!

   1
     God is our refuge and strength, a help always near in times of great trouble. 2 That’s why we won’t
   be afraid when the world falls apart, when the mountains crumble into the center of the sea, 3 when its
   waters roar and rage, when the mountains shake because of its surging waves. 4 There is a river whose
   streams gladden God’s city, the holiest dwelling of the Most High. 5 God is in that city. It will never
   crumble. God will help it when morning dawns. 6 Nations roar; kingdoms crumble. God utters his
   voice; the earth melts. 7 The LORD of heavenly forces is with us! The God of Jacob is our place of
   safety.

   This is a Word of God for the people of God.
      Thanks be to God, Amen.
