Hope Restored

Psalm 78:1–7 

Listen, people of Holy One: 

listen to the Story. 

Hear the ancient chapters

of struggle, conflict, evil,

of distance from home

and Holy One, of covenant

broken and rejected, 

relationships broken,

Holy One and kin rejected. 

Hear the dark times 

told again: we will not

close our ears not hide

away, but tell what 

our ancestors did 

and came to know; 

we will tell for each new

generation of children 

of Holy One – They are 

faithful, inspire awe,

show love beyond measure, 

restore what is broken again

and again. 

Promises made again

Teaching given again

Covenant written again 

in the heart of the Divine

and Their people. 

Listen, people of Holy One – 

listen! 

Hear the Story of hope

that meets the people

of the only Holy One, 

the light that draws us on.
