This is the time, this is the place,
where we are gathered one in your grace.
For now is the time, now is the day
Where we all share as one the stories of our faith.

Now is the time for singing and dancing.
Now is the time for sharing as one.
Sharing a life with Christ as the center.
Sharing a life where all may be one, may be one.

Now is the time for sharing the harvest.
Now is the time for liv ing as one.
Sharing the fruits and joys of our labor.
Sharing our gifts together as one, together as one.

Now is the time for acting with justice.
Now is the time to challenge as one.
Here we will break the walls that confine us.
Here we will fill our hearts with new song, with new song.

Now is the time for building the kingdom.
Now is the time to build a new earth.
Here we become a servant for others.
Here we will bring your vision to birth, your vision to birth.
