Each face has paced a thousand steps to gather here.
Journeys walked and lessons learnt.
Tears shed and shouts of delight cried.
As we walked, we never left your sight.
Your love abounding, surrounding,
Resounding in every recess of our lives.
At times, we have felt closer than ever before.
At times, we have felt frozen
Permafrost gripping our hearts and minds,
Wondering, will we ever find our way home?
So, let us gather here.
Called from every corner.
Pilgrims in pain,
Worshipers filled with wonder
Children of God, gathered by a Father’s love.
Let our praises echo
Let our hearts be changed
As we gather now to worship God.
