The Community

They cradled me as a newborn
then showed me how to live…
They held me as I learned again
then watched me walk to You…
They guided my uncertain steps
then gave me wings to fly…
They loved me as I was disgraced
then taught me how to love…

Now we stand together as one
and carry others new…
Now we live within souls restored
and share the strength and truth…
Now we unite in graceful trust
and give hope, wisdom, strength…
Now we love together as one
and pave the road to You…
