Recently I wrote the following Call to Worship for a church service and later posted it online in a Facebook group called "Prayers that Unite." Rod Boucher who is currently in Nashville liked it and offered to write a melody. I of course agreed, and a few days later a song came back! Here's the original Call to Worship, which Rod reworked slightly to make into a song.
This is a thin place
Where earth and heaven embrace
Where past interweaves with future
Where people gather expectantly
This is a thin place
Where hopes are renewed
Where faith is restored
Where peace is revived
Where love is refreshed
This is a thin place
Where fresh words are heard
Deep wisdom revealed
Daring promises proclaimed
This is a thin place
Where the God who shaped us
The Christ who remakes us
The Spirit who inspires us
Walk among us
Full of grace and truth
God above us
God beside us
God within us
May we be open to see and hear
Your grace revealed
As we worship you this day
