Coming Together (2) - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Gathering in worship
coming together
bright sounds of children
hugs all around

Wishing for your presence
centering our spirits
coming into worship
to sit at your feet

Oh come Holy Spirit
descend upon us
fall down from heaven
to be in our midst

Hear the cries of your children
the sheep here in the flock
the prayers for the people
outside, in the dark

Steel our hearts
assuage our fears
give us feet to go
out into the world

Bearing the message
the words written
your promise engraved
on the tablets of our hearts
