We want to be a church where freedom reigns,
We want to be a people full of grace;
We want to be a shelter where
The broken find their place.
We want to be a refuge for the weak,
We want to bring peace to the troubled soul;
We want to be a love that breaks
The walls and fills the streets.
All are welcome here as we are,
As we are;
For our God is near ev'ry heart.
Let Your mercy rise;
Let Your hope resound;
Let Your love in our hearts be found.
Let Your grace run free,
Let Your Name bring peace;
Heaven come in the here and now.
We want to be a door that's open wide,
We want to see compassion come to life;
We want to carry truth that shines
A beacon in the night.
We want to see the city fill with hope,
We want to bring peace to the troubled soul;
We want to tell the story of a God
That we can know.
All are welcome here as we are,
As we are;
For our God is near ev'ry heart.
Let Your mercy rise;
Let Your hope resound;
Let Your love in our hearts be found.
Let Your grace run free,
Let Your Name bring peace;
Heaven come in the here and now.
So let justice roll like a river wild,
And let mercy grow like a burning fire;
Let it come in the here and now.
Your kingdom come till it rules the earth,
And Your will be done all around the world;
Let it come in the here and now.
