Enduring God

Written as part of our work with Christians for Social Action, “Enduring God” was created with Sandra Van Opstal from Chasing Justice. Rooted in the language of worship and community, the song celebrates God’s enduring presence with those who persevere through hardship while continuing to make room for others at the table.
