Let Us Enter In, ACS 985



1 Let us enter in to the song of thanksgiving and freedom.

Let us enter in to the long line of people in need.

Let us enter in to the strong mind that God is still living.

Healing, forgiving—Let us enter in.



2 Let us enter in to the place where our God has preceded.

Let us enter in to the face of the fear and the pain.

Let us enter in to the grace of the love when it's needed.

Death is defeated! Let us enter in.



3 Let us enter in to the heart of a world that is broken.

Let us enter in to the start of a hope we can share.

Let us enter in to the part where we call one another

sister and brother. Let us enter in.

Draw Us in the Spirit's Tether, ELW 470



1 Draw us in the Spirit's tether,

for when humbly in your name

two or three are met together,

you are in the midst of them.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Touch we now your garment's hem.



2 As disciples used to gather

in the name of Christ to sup,

then with thanks to God the giver

break the bread and bless the cup,

Alleluia! Alleluia!

so now bind our friendship up.



3 All our meals and all our living

make as sacraments of you,

that by caring, helping, giving,

we may be disciples true.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

We will serve with faith anew.
