Come one, come all - step right up
To God's amazing and spectacular - Church!
Come one, come all - there are seats for everyone -
old and young, wise and foolish,
All the colors of human skin,
All the colors of human prayer,
The musical and the artistic,
Dream makers and detail chasers,
Brisk walkers and wheelchair rollers,
Signers, speakers and readers of Braille,
the daring and the caring,
The joyful, the doubting, the sad,
Come one, come all - there are seats for everyone -
In the shelter of God's wide tent...
Within the circus and the circle
Of the people of God.

Bless God, Oh my soul, for You have stretched out the heavens like a tent, and set your tightrope on the waters.  you make the clouds your chariots and ride on the trapeze of the wind.  you give life to wild animals - they dance in the rings of Your creation, and roar out your majesty.  You set our lives in a place of wonder and sawdust, and You cover all our deep falling with nets of safety.
