Chorus
I was glad when they said to me,
""Let us go to the house of the Lord.""
I was glad when they said to me,
""Let us go to the house of the Lord.""
1 Called from every nation,
called from every race,
gathered here for worship
in this holy place;
God is here among us,
lift your hearts and sing,
make the walls and rafters ring.
2 Here the poor are welcomed,
here the lost are claimed.
Broken live are mended,
deepest fears are named.
Here the wise are children
and the weak are strong.
Here, in Christ, we all belong.
3 Words that must be spoken,
grace that must be heard,
mercy and forgiveness
from God's holy word,
here will be repeated;
peace to all proclaimed,
shouted out in Jesus' name.
