Teacher, where are
you staying?
Your teaching is new,
yet it is old
and consistent with sound doctrine.
You teach us to heed
the ordinances
of God, but to heed
them with all
our heart and mind
and strength.
You teach us that God
will
maintain God’s steadfast love
for us, with great
power to redeem,
and that in God is
our hope and trust.
Teacher, stay with us
and help us stay with
you.
