We enter in with one accord;
Reverent hearts before the Lord.
The law of love, without discord;
The church where Scripture is explored.
We plead your Spirit to convey;
Conviction, pow’r, without delay.
The Master Potter- we the clay;
Mould and make us in your way.
We sing the faithful hymns of old;
Your name and glory we uphold.
Rejoice in prophecies foretold;
Blessings seen a hundredfold.
We bow in holy prayer and say,
“As wand’ring sheep we go astray,
Forgive us, lead us, through this day,
Empower us within the fray.”
We fellowship with kindred souls-
More vital than the casseroles.
The tea and coffee, scones and scrolls,
Cannot replace united coals.
We hug and kiss with love sincere;
Encouraging in godly fear.
Our hearts entwined in love so dear;
To all the world our faith is clear.
We marshal thoughts and concentrate;
As preacher, truths disseminate.
Our souls, the Scriptures penetrate;
Revival comes, we celebrate.
We are a called-out family;
Though sinful wretches formerly.
God grace applied so lavishly;
And all because of Calvary.
We clung in pride to sin’s wide perch;
All hope was lost, left in the lurch.
The blood of Christ has washed the smirch;
And called us to this local church.
