spirit, come to us, touch us, renew us.
we have come again to be filled with song –
for we have emptied ourselves these last days.
the world wears us down – it weakens our song.

when we were unborn we heard your song.
ever since, we have found in singing,
small parts of heaven remembered,
small moments of praise shared.

these songs of love and celebration uplift us.
we practice that these songs might uplift others.
as we come together to learn these songs,
we pray we might make a worthy praising.

in our making of song we find our own hearts sing.
in our pouring of melody we find our hearts again filling.
spirit of the living god,
amaze us – attune us – attend us.
