Standing to Hear the Word

The members of the people,
the gathered congregation
coming to hear the word
standing before the Lord

All day they listened
the hope, the truth
God’s steadfast love
shared with all the people
all gathered in the square

Hearing again the word of God
standing to listen, joy
overflowing, their arms raised up
in blessing, in prayer,
an homage to the Lord
