For those who hold us up

For those who hold us up when we are weak and fall:

Give thanks to God for those who give their strength to one and all.

For those who hold our needs in earnest, faithful prayer:

Give thanks to God for those who will not judge us our despair.

For those who show us love we don’t deserve by far:

Give thanks to God for those who love us wholly as we are.

For those who hold our lives in love and care and grace:

Give thanks to God for people such as these here in this place.

TEXT: CSF, 2019

MUSIC: Tune JULIA, CSF, 2019

Note: yes, an original tune. It really needs to be harmonized for good four-part congregational singing. I am extremely poor at such things.

Hint.

HINT. 

BLATANT HINT.

New note: Blatant hinting works! See below a harmonization by Caleb Mutch, with thanks to Sarah Godbehere for sharing the original with him.
