Here Is Where
by Barbara Philbrook

Here is where we gather to share our love and Praise of You,
here is where we gather as you have instructed us to do.

Here is where we have fellowship with each other,
here is where we meet each of us as a Christian sister or brother.

Here is the place where we can come and rededicate ourselves anew,
here is the place where we feel as one with you.

Prayer can take place anywhere we happen to be,
so can our worship and our giving of thanks to thee.

But our gathering together in this designated  place,
fills us twice a week with stimulating grace.

Thank you Father for all of the things that  you do,
thank you most heartily for this place where we come to worship you.

Thank you for the knowledge that where ever we gather even as few as two or three,
there in our mist is where you too will be.

Thank you for the faith that allows us to believe,
that whatever we ask in Jesus name we may receive.

Thank you for the blessing of sharing our faith with others who we invite to visit this place too,
others who we can loveingly introduce to you.

Thank you Father from the bottom of my heart,
thank you for worship services in which we can all take part.

Thank you for the fact that we can meet with out fear of reprisal by others who disagree,
thank you for the comfort we have in knowing thee.
