As our church family weathers another staggering loss,
pray we are drawn closer to each other in humble faith because
we know God is faithful and righteous in all He does!
Through each moment meting hours
Tuning morning, noon and night
Through each garden filled with flowers
Not yet visible to sight
Through each up and down we weather
Whether foul or fair wind blows
God is faithful through whatever
His perfect purpose bestows
While we oft, in sorrow wonder
At God's ways we cannot know
While we marvel at the thunder
Of His grace, whereby we go
While the ranks of reason wrestle
With thanksgiving tried by tears
God is good and God is faithful
In all His love commandeers
Then, without doubt’s hesitation
Though we do not understand
Praise the Author of salvation
Trust the leading of His hand
God, rich in mercy invites us
Never to despair because
He is ever good and righteous
And faithful in all He does

(below, a passage I have treasured like never before
in my personal season of sorrow, as well as I weep with
others who weep)
Ps.145:17-19
The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and faithful in all he does.
The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cry and saves them.
