I dance the prayers of the people – v7

Within the circle

the family, the gathering

within the cleansing blood

standing together

before You, oh God

I dance the prayers of the people

our petitions to You

we begin with praises

for what You have already done

we lift to heaven

within the circle

our joys, our concerns

the days of our lives

I dance the prayers of the people

our trust is in You, oh God

our Creator, our Savior

for You alone are faithful

Your promises are true.

we gather to dance – v3

Freed by the Spirit

the blood of our Savior

we gather to dance

to sing songs of the people.

We worship together

within the circle

held within the four walls

the sanctuary alive.

All of us are united

when we remember the circle

all the saints of our faith

all who have walked here before.

We remain connected

within the widening circle

we welcome new life

new voices in the song.

We gather together

for prayer within the circle

all of us are united

within God’s arms of love.

I dance the prayers of the people – v6

I dance the prayers of the people

within the circle, the family

within the cleansing blood

of our Lord, Jesus.

We stand together

all part of the body

gathered within the circle

before You, oh God.

I dance the prayers of the people

raising our petitions to You;

We begin with praises

for what You have already done

We lift to heaven

within the circle, our hopes,

our joys, our concerns

the days of our lives.

I dance the prayers of the people

our trust in You, oh God

for You alone are faithful,

Your promises are true.

Within the circle, the body,

within the extended family

we come together, to pray,

we share our lives.

we come into the circle – v8

We join the thread,

the continuing cord, the bond,

touching eternity, the saints,

with all who have come before.

We enter singly, on our own,

on our journey of faith

yet we come into the circle

sensing God’s presence with us.

We walk where others have walked

on their faith journeys before us.

we enter the circle – v3

We come together, within,

the smoke hangs off us;

Christ’s cleansing blood

washes us clean.

We enter the circle

to find kinship, love;

we join in the dance

the songs of the people.

Together we lift up

our prayers to heaven

to our Creator, our God;

Your life is within us.

More alive within the circle

held by arms of grace;

We are washed by God’s love -

We enter the circle.

I dance the prayers of the people – v5

I dance the prayers of the people

of our Lord, Jesus

Standing together

before You, oh God,

I dance the prayers of the people

our petitions to You

We begin with praises, with thanks,

We lift to heaven

I dance the prayers of the people – v4

I dance the prayers of the people

within the circle,

within the cleansing blood,

of our Lord, Jesus.

We stand together

all part of the body

gathered within to the circle

coming before You, oh God.

I dance the prayers of the people

our petitions to You;

we begin with praises, with joy,

for what You have already done.

We lift to heaven, our prayers,

within the circle, together,

our joys, our concerns,

the days of our lives.

I dance the prayers of the people

our trust in You, oh God,

for You alone are faithful

Your promises are true.

Within the circle, the body

within the extended family;

we come together,

we share our lives.

we come into the circle – v6

we join the thread, the circle,

the continuing cord, the bond,

touching eternity, God’s face,

with all who have come before.

we enter singly, on our own,

on our journey of faith,

yet we come into the circle

sensing God’s presence.

we walk where others have walked

on their faith journeys before us;

we join the thread, the movement

we come into the circle.

we come into the circle – v5

We join the thread, the fabric

the continuing cord, the bond uniting,

touching eternity, the face of God

with all who have come before.

We enter singly, on our own,

on our journey of faith,

yet we come into the circle together

sensing God’s presence, the Spirit within us.

We walk where others have walked

on their faith journeys before us;

we enter the circle, together,

where we find new life.

we enter the dance – v4

we enter the dance

we leap into the circle

we are safe within

the arms of God

each of us has a story

a part to play in the telling

we share our witness

within the circle

our prayers to heaven

to the Holy Spirit

lifted up to God

as we enter the dance

touching the Creator

connecting today, tomorrow,

with every moment of the past

into our future

the prayers continue

within the circle

the dance is unending

with the Creator’s arms.
