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 Gather us in all peoples together, Fire of love in our flesh and our bone.
