Higher love



And so we stand on higher ground
In faith we rise in ways profound
The love we found within the clouds
Our hearts proclaim the mind to tame

And so we stand on higher ground
In faith we rise in ways profound
Our chalice full and shared around
To quench our thirst in Gods pure sound

And so we stand on higher ground
In faith we rise in ways profound
The harm is done. Our penance loud.
And Gods glory will make us proud

And so we stand on higher ground
In faith we rise in ways profound
The angels call us to our knees
Our journeys clear we shed no tear

And so we stand on higher ground
In faith we rise in ways profound
A dove of light the wild winds bright
Protect our souls within their light

And so we stand on higher ground
In faith we rise in ways profound
