why we are drawn to sing
to embrace our deepest melancholy
to express our unspeakable joy
to remember the time of our salvation
to tell the ancient and holy stories
we are drawn together singing
like flowers reaching for the sun
like birds turning in flight together
like distant stars in constellation
like aspen leaves trembling in the breeze
we are drawn to sing God's praise
maker of all, redeemer of souls
we gather to celebrate your majesty
Spirit and Son, Mystery of Mysteries
we sing in praise and wonder and community |
