Psalm 101: Call me loyal

(Suitable for an Induction or any moment where people in fellowship recommit)


Today is a new beginning and we stand to dedicate ourselves afresh to God and to each other.
Call me loyal, I’ll hold you loyal too.
Call me faithful, I’ll hold you faithful too.
Let’s sing in our worship and our work,
sing of God’s love and justice.
Let’s study God’s truth and holiness,
so that in all our ways, through all our days,
we’ll hold true and do right.
 
Here in this family we’ll uphold integrity
and ignore the petty and irrelevant.
We will build each other up and know nothing of evil.
We won’t tear each other down
with casual lies or bitter complaints.
We will think others better than ourselves.
We will revel in God’s favour, and delight in our differences.
We will minister to each other, from the youngest to the eldest.
We will welcome all God brings us,
no matter who they are or what they have done,
for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God
but in Christ we are set right by his grace,
so I need you and you need me, and together we belong.
