Words: David Kai ©2021 (rev. 2022) Music: David Kai ©2005
So long ago they gathered in this place,
Reached out in faith and built this holy space,
As years have passed youve stood here for the good,
Well done, you faithful servant of stone and wood.
CHORUS:
Our God goes with us wherever we may roam,
Our God goes with us, makes each new place our home,
As God goes with us we live by faith, not fear,
Thanks be to God, ever fore us, ever near.
Laughter and tears and prayers have graced these walls,
Steps of the faithful still echo in your halls,
In word and rite and sacrament they found,
That humble blocks would become your holy ground.
CHORUS: (as above)
The time has come: to God we do entrust
The future, past, and all you mean to us,
Our voices joined as one shall be a sign,
That memories here will surpass the test of time.
CHORUS: (as above)
