Lyrics
A Prayer For Gathering
copyright 2002 Jim Paradis
Here we are, fathers and sons, Sisters and mothers, many though one
We gather together with a song on the air, Asking the spirit to be here
Here we are tired and poor More questions than answers than ever before
We look to each other for comfort from fear Yet we know for certain you are here
You are here touching every heart
Sweetening each breath. Alive!
You are here crying every tear
Lightening our laughter
You are here
Here we are never alone Like river to raindrop, mountain to stone
We all have our place in the light of the Son We all do our part to make this world one
You are here touching every heart
Sweetening each breath. Alive!
You are here crying every tear
Lightening our laughter
You are here
You are here we feel it in our hearts
See it in their eyes. Alive!
You are here in every precious smile
Laughing through our laughter
You are here
