Together to Celebrate

We come together

to celebrate your goodness

to celebrate your spirit

who leads us further on;

to be your people who praise your name;

a people of hand and flame.

We move onward ñ

God's love will keep us strong.

1. ? We worship?? - with gifts so great.

We serve you - in love and grace

??? We gather as family each one.

??? Your people across the land,

??? young and old at your command.

??? People of freedom in God's Son.

??? We come together ...

?????

2. Weíre here Lord - you call us on

To love you ... to serve beyond

To risk all, to walk your pilgrim way

Your people across the land,

In unity, in Christ weíll stand

May all our lives sing out your praise.

We come together ...
