Sing, O Sing [Dan Schutte]

1. Sing, O sing, like the wind and sea; let music fill the skies!
Lift your voice like the thund’ring waves: let songs of praise arise!
Praise God with drums and dancing! Praise God with flute and horn!
Blessed be our God, Mighty Lord of all!

2. Night and day we announce your praise; O Lord of ev'ry land,
Give you thanks for the sun and stars, all blessings of your hand.
Helper of all who labor, Comfort to all who mourn.
Praise to you, O God, Mighty Lord of all!

3. Mighty Master of raging storm; we kneel before your power.
Loving Lord of the faithful rain, that makes the desert flower.
Giver of song and sorrow, Grower of every seed.
Praise to you, O God, Mighty Lord of all!

4. Hear us, Lord of the sun and moon; we bless you night and day.
Guide us, Lord, as we journey home; be with us on our way.
Spirit of field and forest, Power of snow and rain.
Praise to you, O God, Mighty Lord of all!

5. Make us shine like stars of night; we bless your holy name!
Make our love like a blazing light; O set our hearts aflame!
Master of dawn and darkness, Maker of shining star.
Praise to you, O God, Mighty Lord of all!

All Are Welcome (Let Us Build A House) [Marty Haugen]

Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live,
a place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive.
Built of hopes and dreams and visions, rock of faith and vault of grace;
here the love of Christ shall end divisions:
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.

Let us build a house where prophets speak, and words are strong and true,
where all God’s children dare to seek to dream God’s reign anew.
Here the cross shall stand as witness and as symbol of God’s grace;
here as one we claim the faith of Jesus:
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.

Let us build a house where love is found in water, wine, and wheat:
a banquet hall on holy ground where peace and justice meet.
Here the love of God, through Jesus, is revealed in time and space;
as we share in Christ the feast that free us:
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.

Let us build a house where hands will reach beyond the wood and stone
to heal and strengthen, serve and teach, and live the Word they’ve known.
Here the outcast and the stranger bear the image of God’s face;
let us bring an end to fear and danger:
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.

Let us build a house where all are named, their songs and visions heard
and loved and treasured, taught and claimed as words within the Word.
Built of tears and cries and laughter, prayers of faith and songs of grace,
let this house proclaim from floor to rafter:
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.
