Ready to ring the bells – v4

the pulleys greased
up in the belfry
the men lined up
as we come in to join them
ready to ring the bells
to enter into worship
to stand together as one in prayer

sitting in the sanctuary
itching to get started
loyal members of the church
long-standing witness
calling others to join
to enter into worship
as we stand to pray together
