Inspired by Susan L.

  At worship team practice Friday, there was some joking around in putting song names together to make a sentence. The idea captured my heart and a poem was born.

Come, now is the time to worship!

To stand, to offer

Phrases of praise to raise the roof!

To celebrate in word and song:

Our Wonderful God, Our Wonderful Saviour!

Or simply the amazing

Wonder of it all!

It’s the reason we sing,

The sacrifice of desert songs,

The joys of souls on fire:

Heartbeat beats of anthems sweet,

Incense to heaven,

Fly!

Bass and treble tremble,

Booming drum, tambour, flute and cymbal crash,

Electrifying, finger flying, eighty-eight keys,

The black, the white, the world encompassed.

Twelve strings stretched, vocal cords enmeshed,

Tethered together in faith.

Rise up a mighty, thundering, wall crushing sound,

To send the foe scurrying, worrying,

To hide from the unquenchable power of

Unity,

Harmony.

Jesus Loves Me, His Grace like rain,

Pours down and out and up and in.

He who saves, Who will never leave us,

Who will return to us some day,

Loved loud

For all to hear.
