Celebration, commitment and response
Celebration Refrain: Sing high praises to God, the source of all life and all loving; rock upon which we stand, vision that calls us on. This is the calling of God to all who will hear and embrace it: ‘Leave safety and self behind and follow where I lead.’ Sing high praises to God … So we give thanks on this day for those who, fearing but faithful, answered that summons and came bringing God’s life to this place. Sing high praises to God … This is the purpose of God for all who will answer his calling – that they build a Kingdom shaped by justice, peace and love. Sing high praises to God … So we give thanks on this day for those whose speaking and actions make of this place a house where God’s love is known. Sing high praises to God … This is the vision of God and all who are holding his purpose – that one day his Kingdom’s love will heal all life on earth. Sing high praises to God …
