This saving world that our forebears heard is the promise which holds us bound, 'til the spear and rod can be crushed by God, who is turning the world around.

13. “Joy is not in things- it’s in us” Robert Wagner ALL:My heart shall sing of the day you bring. Let the fires of your justice burn. Wipe away all tears, for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn! AMEN. - Words: Rory Cooney
