One by one we gather, every Sunday morn
Some have come into this place from the day that they were born
Some awakened lately to the glory of his name
Each has equal favor, ‘cause he loves us all the same
It’s the work of many hands, it’s the sound of many voices
It’s the love of many hearts that make a church
Creating, crafting, singing, or speaking from the heart
Each of us has special gifts that make us who we are
We know that our talents were given from above
The Holy Spirit gives the gift, and we pass it on with love
It’s the work of many hands, it’s the sound of many voices
It’s the love of many hearts that make a church
Someone said the Christian path is narrow and long
On the wider avenues, there’s so much to be done
So feed the hungry, find the friendless, let your spirit soar
You never know when Jesus Christ is walking through the door
It’s the work of many hands, it’s the sound of many voices
It’s the love of many hearts that make a church

Shout out to Rev. Cliff Aerie of The Oikos Ensemble, who was my pastor at First Congregational Church in Binghamton, NY years ago. Not only did he encourage my songwriting ministry (he produced this track), but he married Lex and me in 1998.
Stay safe and stay blessed, my people. Love, Amy

Wonderful write Amelita, Love this song! It’ll do great on the air if you give it a shot! Certainly great to see you back, Ma’am! How’s the going?

Hank! What a nice surprise. I have been “off” blogging for too long. Roger Green is keeping me honest. I really don’t put things out on the air, etc. But if you know of a church that could use the free music, tell them they have carte blanche. Just tell them to remember Lake Edge UCC in their prayers that week!! Hope all is well with you – and we never take that for granted anymore, do we? Love, Amy
