We Are OneVU 402
2
We are one as we come, as we come, joyful to be here, in the praise on our lips there’s a sense that God is near.
3
We are one as we sing, as we seek, we are found; and we come needful of God’s grace as we meet, together in the place.
4
We are one as we share, as we share brokenness and fear, in the touch of a hand there’s a sense that God is here.
5
We are one as we care, as we heal, we are healed; and we share warmth in God’s embrace as we pray together in this place.

God Weeps
MVU 78
30
God weeps at love withheld, at strength misused, at children’s innocence abused, and till we change the way we love, God weeps.
31
God bleeds at anger’s fist, at trust betrayed, at women battered and afraid, and till we change the way we win, God bleeds.
32
God cries at hungry mouths, at running sores, at creatures dying without cause, and till we change the way we care, God cries.
33
God waits for stones to melt, for peace to seed, for hearts to hold each other’s need, and till we understand the Christ, God waits.

35
What can I do? What can I bring?What can I say? What can I sing?I’ll sing with joy. I’ll say a prayer.I’ll bring my love. I’ll do my share.

I Am the Dream
MVU 106
40
I am the dream and you the dreamer. I am the song and you are the rhyme. You are the tune sung in ev’ry silence. You are the now in the endless stream of time.
41
I am the bell and you the silence. You are the yearning I cannot curtail. I am the blest and you the blessing. You are the wilds in which I lose my trail.
42
You are the word and I the echo. You are the leader and I am the led. You are the joy and I the laughter. You are the rock on which I lay my head.

44
As we leave this place of worship, and we go our separate ways, May the God who goes before us, guide in all our coming days. Let us now go forth in service, serving every creed and race; In the spirit of thanksgiving, living peace and grace.
