Welcome (Vol 3 No 1)

We are thankful for a greeting

And a welcome we all prize;

We have come to join in worship,

Searching for what satisfies;

With a welcome as we gather

We can feel our spirits rise.

‘Welcome’ is the way of Jesus;

‘Welcome’ is his promised word;

Welcome is for saints and sinners;

All are welcome; all have erred;

Jesus speaks his word of welcome –

We respond for we have heard.

We all join in affirmation

Of the love of God we know;

Like the vastness of an ocean

Love is here in constant flow;

I am welcome; you are welcome;

Jesus says, “Let it be so.”
