Song Lyrics
[Verse 1] May this place be one of nurture where we all may come to know how your endless love sustains us as we live and move and grow. May we work to build your kingdom full of truth and light and grace, living life in all its fullness held in one divine embrace. [Verse 2] For our negligence and failures you have called us to repent, drawing energy for action from the voices of lament. As the secret hurts long hidden may at last be brought to light, may the truth unlock the freedom that is every person\xe2\x80\x99s right. [Verse 3] When the smallest child is valued, and the strong empower the weak, and each human life is hallowed and the unheard voices speak: then your justice stands like mountains and your mercy falls like rain, and you hold the broken hearted till they learn to live again. [Verse 3] So, in gratitude we praise you, and we lift to you in prayer, all the people you are calling to this ministry of care. Give us wisdom, grace and courage, holding fast to all that\xe2\x80\x99s good, seeing Christ in one another we will love and serve our Lord.
