A song of welcome and promise

tune: Colours of Day (light up the fire)

Come, fill our hearts with your love again
Please lift up our spirits come now to reign
Come, rule in our lives and let out lives show
How your love lives in us, and how our love grows

Chorus
Revive us with hope and rest like a dove
Fire up our hearts with flames from above
Rush in like a wind that catches us up
In a maelstrom of wonder gifting us love

Come lead us on to service for you
You’re spreading a message, your love is true
Your promise is certain, your Word secure
Your love accepts us, this renewed hope endures

Chorus

Come all you faithful, and you who doubt
God’s great love is calling, finding us out
Know that the spirit calls us all in
To where works of power can truly begin

Chorus

Come join this family, know we belong
Know God’s love includes us, welcome is strong
We’re feeling a part of something much more
This place is a sanctuary with open doors

Chorus
