JUST LIKE SELMA
A new social justice hymn by Nolan Williams, Jr.
VERSE 1 (Tenor solo)
There is an arc, a moral compass charting freedom’s wax and wane.
Sometimes we’re startled how that arc allows some things hard to explain.
But when the cause we fight is right, no matter what we must persist.
That arc is long and bends toward justice when we resist.
VERSE 2 (Alto solo)
There is an arc, a moral compass charting freedom’s wax and wane.
Sometimes we’re startled how that arc allows some things hard to explain.
But when the cause we fight is pure, we can’t let go because we’re sure
That arc is long and bends toward justice when we endure.
REFRAIN
Oh, Oh, Oh, Selma has taught us how to persist, resist.
Selma has taught us how to protest, endure.
Selma has taught us how to fight hate, agitate,
Until the arc bends our way, until the arc bends our way,
(Until the) moral arc bends our way just like Selma.
VERSE 3 (Choir)
There is an arc, a moral compass charting freedom’s wax and wane.
Sometimes we’re startled how that arc allows some things hard to explain.
But when the cause we fight is hate, sometimes we can’t afford to wait.
That arc is long and bends toward justice when we agitate.
REFRAINOh, Oh, Oh, Selma has taught us how to persist, resist.
Selma has taught us how to protest, endure.
Selma has taught us how to fight hate, agitate,
Until the arc bends our way, until the arc bends our way,
(Until the) moral arc bends our way just like Selma.
VAMP
Until the arc bends our way. (repeat as directed)
CODA
(Until the) moral arc bends our way just like Selma.

Beginning With the End in Mind – How does it all end up? Well, God has given us knowledge of the past, present and future and what we should be doing to edify one another. Join Pastor Tony as he leads us through a series study entitled, “Revealing Revelation – Beginning with the End in Mind.”
We’ve already gotten off to a great start and are looking more as the Lord unveils things about the Author, his church, Israel and the end of this world as we know. God wants us to be encouraged and received the blessing he has for when we a) read it, b) hear it and c) obey it (1:3).

This Week at The BereanWay
Eyes Fixed in 2026. Hebrews 12 reminds that we ought to look and have our eyes fixed on the Author and Finisher of our faith, Jesus. He alone is the help we need (Ps. 121:1) in 2026.
Revealing Revelation – We have been brought to a point in time where we need to look to Jesus more than ever. And God has given us his word that we may be educated and thoroughly equipped for the work ahead (2 Tim. 3:17). With the word of God, specifically The Revelation of Jesus, we are presented with the tools to both glorify God and minister the good news of God’s love to those we encounter on our daily journey.
Pastor Tony, has embarked on an adventure through the new message series, “Revealing Revelation – Beginning with the End in Mind”. This line-by-line study will enlighten, transform and propel our personal walk with Christ that the impossible will now become possible.
