4. Oh, lord, the John Lewis spirit here

"...Keep moving. He's a friend in sunshine and storm.

None of us will be free until all of us are equal.

I suggest, since he's close enough to God to keep his eye on the sparrow and us, we salute, suit up, and march on. "

Thank you, President Clinton.

11. "And when he shall die, take him and cut him into stars.

He shall make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will grow in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun."

Gracious and loving God, we commend into your safety, a soul of your son, John Robert Lewis.
You've seen the affidavit of his deeds, yes, he stayed in trouble. Good trouble, necessary trouble.

He fought the good fight
He finished his course.
He kept the faith.
And now henceforth is laid up for him a crown of righteousness.
But not only to him, but all those who love God's appearing,
Now part of a great mighty cloud of witnesses is he.
These are they who've gone through the great tribulation.
They've washed their robes in the blood of the lamb.
The angels rejoice because he has been vindicated by history,
his deeds etched into eternity, and his soul received into your glory

In the name of the God who loves us into freedom, and frees us into loving,
Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, we pray. Amen."

Amen Amen.
