God of Mercy, may your steadfast love
last forever.
You have borne us from our
birth, carried us from the womb--
carried us, O God, even
when we turned gray;
you have made, and you
will bear,
you will carry and will
save.
Therefore, we will
stand, a belt of truth around our waist,
and we will put on the
breastplate of righteousness;
as shoes we will wear
whatever makes us ready
to proclaim your gospel
of peace, and we'll
tell how much Jesus has
done for us,
and of the mercy he has
shown,
and at all times in the
Spirit
we will pray.

But Jesus refused, and said to him, “Go home to your
friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy he
has shown you.” And he went away and began to proclaim in the
Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.
