This song was written by Bob Hauch to celebrate the 100th anniversary of St. John’s Lutheran School in 2007. “Celebrate” was also the school theme that year.   God has blessed us in many ways through what He has done.  It is only fitting to praise Him.

In the first verse of this song, Bob linked the current theme with the previous year’s theme, “Shine.” The most important thing we have to celebrate, beyond anniversaries and institutions, is the light of the world, Jesus Christ, and His goodness to us. He is always with his people, with his boundless love and grace.  This is good news for us and good news to share.

For the recording, the song is sung by Devyn Wallace-Bicknell, a graduate of St. John’s Lutheran School in Napa, CA.
