Hymn for Streamed Worship
8.7.8.7 D *
In our homes, we meet to worship,
far away from sacred space.
By the Spirit, Christ is with us,
making this a holy place.
In these days of social distance,
we are called to meet apart.
Still we pray for one another,
hold each other in our heart.
If this time indeed is holy,
we must keep it truly so.
Even in our isolation,
God’s rich blessings overflow.
We avoid the world’s distractions,
set our minds on things above:
Patience, kindness, goodness, mercy,
faith, joy, peace, abiding love.

R.G.,Thank you so much for this song about our worship away from church. I sang it to the tune of "Brethren We Have Met to Worship."
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you too for your book on Hymnlines. Sue gave it to me and I have loved reading it. Brings back a lot of memories of worship in Pigeon Forge...and elsewhere. Where can I buy copies? I would love to give Tony one, along with several other people.
My best,
