A church service with the great and the good of Walsall was held to remember the Covid pandemic, marking five years since it happened. Candles were lit and placed on a Walsall map, the service went well and some poignant readings and performances took place.
00:00So we have remembered, we have reflected, and now we continue to give thanks and we look to the future with that light and hope.
00:11Morning is Broken is a very suitable hymn to finish with, because it speaks about morning is broken, like that first morning, that freshness, that vigor of life.
00:22So if you're able, please stand to sing Morning is Broken.
00:25Oh, if you'll ever be afraid,
00:32There's sailing bright,
00:36Rhymes so bright,
00:39Like a breeze,
00:43Over troubled waters,
00:50I'll be right.
00:54We're standing on both sides of the response, within the NHS and within our communities, leading our incredible voluntary community and social enterprise sector here in Walsall.
01:12Together, we delivered food parcels, we collected prescriptions, and most crucially, reached out to those who are lonely and afraid.
01:24Our fabulous community rose to the challenge, offering support to neighbours, friends and strangers.
01:33Many thanks to you.
01:38Morning is Broken is a very suitable hymn to finish with, because it speaks about morning is broken, like that first morning, that freshness, that vigor of life.
01:56If we're breathing with the birds alive,
02:05Somewhere over the rainbow,
02:15Signs are blue,
02:21Their blue dreams, as you turn to dream, ready to depart.
02:51May the flight of angels come to greet you, may they lead you to paradise, may the Lord enfold you in his mercy, may you find eternal life.
03:21The Lord is my light and my helper, it is he who protects me from harm.
03:33The Lord is the strength of my days, before whom should I tremble with fear.
03:50May the flight of angels come to greet you, may they lead you to paradise, may the Lord enfold you in his mercy, may you find eternal life.
