Inside Our Old Church

Rob stevens & Olin Johannessen


Homecoming

The Rev. Rob E. Stevens

24 October 2021

The Old Church

composed and performed by Olin Johannessen

We all came down

From lives left behind.

Left troubles and cares

And worries of mind.


We all joined hands

Our heads down and bowed.

We took up the prayers

And spoke them out loud.


CHORUS:

Inside our old church

On top of the hill

Where we come as one

To follow your will


We don't ask for much:

Just forgiveness and grace

To follow you home

To that heavenly place.


We count on our actions

To speak louder than words.

To walk in your ways

And spread peace here on earth


With music and food,

As we gather all,

Our love multiplies

When we answer your call.


CHORUS


Atop this fair city

At the end of the world

We break bread together

All souls will be served


With the glorious promise

Of a hero's return

To the great ever after —

Our faith reaffirmed.


CHORUS
