Living Church
(all saints day)
I sing a song of the saints of God
Small s people
Some of the names we know
Many, many, many
We will not
But this is their day
Your day
A day for living in the church
For the church
The kirke
The iglesia
Is people, translated
And without translation
Who could know?
Another song mentions a spark
But really it takes a fire
A fire on the inside
Enflaming eyes and ears
The touch, the taste, the word
Senses made alive
We burn together
Heritage and prophecy
Say so
It is the living church in irony,
For fire consumes
It can be used in punishment
Or condemnation
It makes a pillar for a promised people
Its clouds guiding by night
Set fire in the only safe and saving way
The saints of God are led
And leading
Keep us going
Take us there
