In the Mountains

Inspired by Psalm  125:1-5

Those who trust,

those who have faith in God

are like the mountains that surround us.

They cannot be moved

And are here forever.

As the mountains surround us

in the heart of Appalachia

so God is in our midst

surrounding us.

Now, tomorrow,

and every day to come.

Even though injustice, violence, and oppression

sneak around us,

press to have their way,

God is not separated from us.

God's will shall be done.

May we see your goodness, o God,

May we know your way.

Give us new hearts in you.

Bring us peace, O God,

and help us to be bringers of Peace.

May we all turn aside from our crooked ways,

and follow you, our God.
