Lyrics
Within these walls, we assemble.
Within these walls, we gather in your name.
As we join our hearts in a holy union,
we come to find communion in your holiness again.
Within these walls, let there be harmony; a common bond;
a Spirit from above.
And as your children let us love each other
as sisters and as brothers
united by your love.
We are the branches, You are the vine.
We are the vessels and You are the wine.
We are the body, You are the Head.
For every hunger, You are the Bread.
Within these walls, let there be refuge,
a place of rest when doubts and trials form.
And let us lift each other as we gather
to find your peace no matter how terrible the storm.
We are the branches, You are the vine.
We are the vessels and You are the wine.
We are the body, You are the Head.
For every hunger, You are the Bread.
Within these walls give us your vision.
Within these walls, let us understand
that beyond these walls, there are hurting people
who have never felt your healing hand.
Beyond these walls, send us forward
Beyond these walls, let your will be done.
We are your people; You will leave us never
and we shall work together until your kingdom comes.
Your kingdom comes!
Within these walls, let us listen.
Within these walls, let us pray. Let us pray.
