Jesus, Be with Us Now
=====================

w&m: David Haas, 1997

[Refrain]
We come before you with all we have,
the work of our hands.
Broken and poured out, sign for the world.
Jesus, be with us now, now.

[Verse 1]
Broken, your people, we who are your own.
Mend us in the shape of your love, formed in you.

[Refrain]

[Verse 2]
Hearts filled with questions, aching to hear your voice.
Acceptance and healing grace, come, be our peace.

[Refrfain]

[Verse 3]
Scattered and fractured, frozen in our fear.
Bind us, unite us as one, strangers no more.

[Refrain]

[Verse 4]
Tables and altars call us all to share.
May there be a place for us all, the weak and the strong.

[Refrain]

[Verse 5]
With singing and in silence, we come with open hands.
In blessing, in breaking the bread, we become you.

[Refrain]
