First Fruits out of Joy


remembering our history
how God has saved us
first fruits out of joy
brought to your altar

speaking aloud the story
the provision of God
saving us from trouble
from the storms of life

first fruits of the harvest
out of joy of your presence
keeping your people safe
kindling piece within us
