272. What Is This Place
[Halepule]
SJV: 269
1. What is this place where we are meeting?
Only a house, the earth its floor,
Walls
and a roof sheltering people.
Windows for light, an open door.
Yet it becomes a body that lives
When we are gathered here, and know our God is near.
2. Words from afar, stars
that are falling, Sparks that are sown in us like seed.
Names for our God, dreams, signs
and
wonders Sent from the past
are all we need.
We in
this place remember and speak.
Again what we have heard:
God's free redeeming word.
3. And we accept bread at his
table, Broken and
shared, a living sig
Here in this world, dying and living,
We
are each other's bread and wine.
This is the place where we can receive
What we need to increase: Our justice and God's peace.
