7th Sunday of Easter
Psalm 68:1-10, 32-35 paraphrased by Pastor William
God is the greatest!
You who don’t believe, beware;
Like smoke that disappears;
like wax that melts away;
so too, you’re gone.
But those who know God, rejoice;
Whoop it up;
laugh and sing.
Yes, sing to your God, belt it out;
send it higher than the clouds.
The parent of orphans,
the companion of the widowed.
God dwells with the lowly;
leads them to abundance.
You, O God, led the Israelites in the desert;
by a cloud at day,
by a fire at night;
the earth quaked, water sprang from a rock,
food came from heaven.
You protected and guided them,
you taught them and loved them.
Sing it out you people:
God is the greatest!
Listen for God’s voice;
from ancient of times,
and still today;
Hear God’s mighty voice;
The voice of wisdom,
of compassion
of peace and love.
God reigns on high;
let God reign in our hearts.
God, you are the greatest!
The greatest, indeed!
