Gathering for worship

1 From different lands, by different roads,
we come because you call;
with laughing hearts or heavy loads,
we come because you call;
for some, the years of faith are long,
while others doubt that they belong;
and yet, to share one common song
we come because you call.

2 Your Spirit's touch ignites the soul
as, Lord, you draw us near;
you love to make the wounded whole
as, Lord, you draw us near;
but love is fiercer than it seems,
demolishing our selfish schemes
to nurture in us deeper dreams
as, Lord, you draw us near.

3 Here in your presence we rejoice
to love and serve you, Lord;
yet teach us in life's every choice
to love and serve you, Lord.
Your word directs us to obey,
your Spirit shapes us day by day;
so may we each discern your way
to love and serve you, Lord.
