May our standing ask permission
To be a kind of benediction
To a love we know is bigger than ourselves
The spirit and your witness
Is bearing light upon our weakness
Giving weight to what we cannot see alone
We come with what we are
We come with what we've done
We come with what we are
We are a beginning
In faith we look to Comfort
She is laying her old hands upon our souls as we discover
We are waking more to hope
Your committed celebration
Is part of our salvation
Holding on to what we know we cannot hold alone
Because we are not that strong
Sometimes afraid of what we've done
We are not that strong
But we are a beginning
We are a beginning
Pray for the bravery
To act upon the kindness of forgiveness
And the mystery of clarity sometimes
Mercy is grateful to go under all our failures
Thanks be to Christ for severity
That's kissed us on our cheeks
May our standing ask permission
To be a kind of benediction
To a love we know is bigger than ourselves
Because we are not that strong
Most times afraid of what we've done
Oh we are not that strong
But we are a beginning
We are a beginning
We are a beginning
We are a beginning
May our standing ask permission
To be a kind of benediction
To a love we know is bigger than ourselves
The spirit and your witness
Is bearing light upon our weakness
Giving weight to what we cannot see alone
We come with what we are
We come with what we've done
We come with what we are
We are a beginning
In faith we look to Comfort
She is laying her old hands upon our souls as we discover
We are waking more to hope
Your committed celebration

Holding on to what we know we cannot hold alone
