Here in this place, new light is streaming
Now is the darkness vanished away
See in this space
Our fears and our dreamings
Brought here to you in the light of this day
Gather us in, the lost and forsaken
Gather us in, the blind and the lame
Call to us now, and we shall awaken
We shall arise at the sound of our name
We are the young, out lives are a mystery
We are the old who yearn for your face
We have been sung throughout all of history
Called to be light to the whole human raceGather us in, the rich and the haughty
Gather us in, the proud and the strong
Give us the heart so meek and so lowly
Give us the courage to enter the song
Here we will take the wine and the water
Here we will take the bread of new birth
Here you shall call
Your sons and your daughters
Call us anew to be salt for the earthGive us to drink the wine of compassion
Give us to drink the bread that is you
Nourish us well, and teach us to fashion
Lives that are holy and hearts that are true
Not in the dark of buildings confining
Not in some heaven light years away
But here in the place, the new light is shining
Now is the Kingdom, now is the day
Gather us in and hold us for ever
Gather us in and make us your own
Gather us in all people together
Fire of love in our flesh and our bone
We did this for the entrance hymn for mass. Hoho.
Stacie's cantoring debut next week! Good luck girl! All the best. It's really not that scary. Don't be nervous! And sorry I wouldn't be able to be there...
Shh, it's..here..
