Let all those who do justice and love mercy say amen

Dr Lowery's benediction flew right over my head like a flock of birds today. I had NO idea what that was. I have now familiarized myself with something other than the first 4 lines of that hymn. The end, however, I TOTALLY got. AMEN!

For more commentary, ladysisyphus breaks the opening prayer and the benediction down for us a little more. The comments are good too-- her f-list is good people!

I actually got to church late on Sunday, so that third stanza was the *only* one that I sang then, so the words hit me immediately. :) I think the benediction was my favorite part.

Thanks for the link to the commentary.

Also, Jon Stewart just expanded the final rhyming to be a bit more inclusive:
"When blue can get in too,
When puce can be set loose,
When we rise above the minutiae of fuschia,
When orange... screw orange!"

He also quoted Big Bill Broonzy with the color rhyming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZLw5ahxm-Q
