They did not build in vain who founded here a church as witness to God's love amid a world of pain; for still to those who wish to see, this place proclaims God's mystery. They built upon the rock that is the risen Lord, the one foundation laid which stands each earthly shock; that, Spirit-filled, we here might raise, as living temples, prayer and praise. Those who have loved this place, a cloud of witnesses, surround and urge us on as we now run our race; and so we lay aside each sin in our resolve to strive and win. Though the horizon's bend conceals the way ahead, the footprints on the road show Christ waits at the end. In him alone, our faith shall stand, who waits for us at God's right hand. In every place our world is storm and tempest tossed; the flames of fear and hate are evil's flags unfurled; yet still the Spirit's wind and fire pour gifts for service in this hour. Here is our meeting place where doubt finds grounds of faith; where hurt finds healing love, our penitence finds grace; where bridging time to eternity is God the Holy Trinity. |
