The Saints Gathered Round Me – v2

As the sun set, air heavy
a presence with me
in the silence of their chapel
wooden benches, pews
the rugged cross calling
entering into this place

The saints gathered round me
those who built this place
those who worshiped here
by his majesty, his grace
knowing this was holy ground
consecrated to you Lord
feeling them with me, ever, still
whispering your praise
