Our congregation at Covenant Church sang this wonderful praise song last Sunday, and I pray its words today, so that our community and our world can be blessed again. The words and music are by Brenton Brown. The title is “A Thousand Generations.” May these words be in our minds and hearts as we live through this day, and may it stand as the prayer for this generation as well:
“You have been faithful to a thousand generations,
Slow to anger, swift to bless.
Your hand has guided us through every situation
Your lovingkindness hasn’t failed us yet.
God, you are my God; I will live to sing Your praises.
God, joy of my heart; You are my rock
You are faithful through the ages.
The day will come when every eye on earth will see You,
When every heart and every voice will say
That You are perfect in your wisdom and Your justice.
Oh, how we long to see that glorious day!
You’re God of heaven’s armies,
You’re God of galaxies;
Valleys rise up to meet You,
The mountains bow their knees.
Creation stands in wonder at all that You’ve achieved
And You have set your love on me.”
God, you are my God; I will live to sing Your praises.
God, joy of my heart; You are my rock.
You are faithful through the ages.”
Now, go out and bless others with the knowledge that you are blessed to be a blessing
