This song was written specifically for Maundy Thursday, the last night of Jesus's life, and yet it is useful for any time people feel "up against it." One of the Gospels says that after the Last Supper and the foot washing, and after Judas left the table to betray him, Jesus and his disciples sang a hymn together before they left for the garden of Gethsemane. A song that would give Jesus strength to face what he knew the next day was going to mean for him. It is our hope that this song will be a source of strength and courage for those facing a difficult tomorrow. Learn More

This song is a straight ahead pledge to "honor the stories" of individuals and groups of persons who have been victimized by the abuse of power and systemic injustice. The verse is a simple pledge NOT to violate the dignity of others or to misuse one's power. The chorus is a promise to "speak only truth" and to celebrate the lives of those who have been put down and disrespected. Co-writers Bryan Sirchio and Richard Bruxvoort Colligan had the #Me Too movement in mind when this song was written, as well as the oppression and injustice committed historically against the LBGTQ community and against all marginalized individuals and groups of persons.
