Gather Us In

D       A   C      G           D    C    G
Here in this place new light is streaming, Now is the darkness vanished away.
D       A     C       G            D     C    Am  D
See in this space our fears and our dreamings, brought here to you in the light of this day.
A     C    D     A         C    D       A
Gather us in, the lost and forsaken, Gather us in, the blind and the lame,
D      A   C     G        D      C   Am  D
Call to us now and we shall awaken, We shall arise at the sound of our name.
D      A      C      G         D     C       G
We are the young- our lives are a myst'ry, We are the old, who yearn for your face,
D       A     C      G           D      C      D
We have been sung throughout all of history, Called to be light to the whole human race.
A     C    D     A         C    D       A
Gather us in, the rich and the haughty, Gather us in, the proud and the strong,
D      A   C     G        D      C   Am  D
Give us a heart, so meek and so lowly, Give us the courage to enter the song.
D       A    C       G         D     C      G
Here we will take the wine and the water, Here we will take the bread of new birth,
D        A     C       G         D     C    Am  D
Here you shall call your sons and your daughters, Call us anew to be salt for the earth.
A     C    D     A         C    D       A
Gather us in to drink the wine of compassion, Give us to eat, the bread that is You.
D      A   C     G        D      C   Am  D
Nourish us well and teach us to fashion, Lives that are holy and hearts that are true.
D      A     C    G           D   C     G
Not in the dark of building confining, Not in some heaven light years away,
D       A     C       G         D    C   Am  D
here in this place the new light is shining, Now is the Kingdom, now is the day.
A     C    D     A         C    D       A
Gather us in and hold us forever, Gather us in and make us your own.
D      A   C     G        D      C   Am  D
