Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 8.8.10.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Here is the place, now is the time:
an inner voice has bid me come;
here in the company where Christ is known,
he claims my life, he speaks my name.
2 Here I declare a seed of faith,
a will to learn, a gleam of truth,
and ask for singleness of heart to speak
what God has put into my mouth.
3 I seek the real and face the cost,
I give away my lack of trust,
in joyful hope I take the Spirit's lead;
I go with all who follow Christ. Topics: The Church Celebrates Ordination; The Church Celebrates Holy Baptism; The Church Celebrates Confirmation; Confirmation; Discipleship; Holy Baptism Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:9 Used With Tune: SUANTRAI
