Commissioned by Village Church, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
in celebration of their 40th anniversary.

If you’re cold on the corner, afraid and alone,
If your view is all darkness and your heart is a stone:

Let there be hope, let there be love, let there be peace among your people.
Let there be light within our darkness, let there be faith to keep us whole.

If you’re searching for shelter, if you hunger within,
you don’t need to keep wand’ring you could just enter in

where there is hope…

If we just make a living but we forget to live,
open our eyes and our hearts to receive all you give.
If we live in this moment we’re never alone.
If we give with our hearts they will not turn to stone.

We will be hope, we will be love, we will spread peace among your people.
We will shed light within the darkness, we will have faith to keep us whole.
