source of our spark, protector of our flame,
blazing before our birth, beyond our dying,
God of all time, we come to sing your name.
2 Here in this place, where others have been building,
we come to claim the legacy of faith,
take in our turn the telling of your story,
and, though we tremble, speak your hope, your truth.
3 Spirit who draws our fragile selves together,
Spirit who turns a stranger to a friend,
be at this table where we greet each other,
be in the peace we pass from hand to hand.
4 Let us not die from poverty of caring,
let us not starve, where love is to be shared.
Come, break us open to receive your healing:
your broken body be our wine and bread. Used With Tune: STRENGTH AND STAY
God of All Time
