“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

There is a time that we must rise, there is a time that we must stand, there is a time that we must come together.

For blessed are our lives, blessed our love, and blessed the promise gathered now.

“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

There is a time that we must leave, go from the place where hatreds breed, and, turning, feel the Spirit breathe us together.

For blessed are our lives, blessed our love, and blessed the promise gathered now.

“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

There is a time we know the way, there is a time we watch and pray, in living faith we make our way together.

For blessed are our lives, blessed our love, and blessed the promise gathered now.

“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

Upon the dry a cloud will rise, and truth will shine among the lies, and wisdom sing as we arise together.

For blessed are our lives, blessed our love, and blessed the promise gathered now.

“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

There is a bow within the rain, and it will come and bend again, and colours shine where we have been together.

For blessed are our lives, blessed our love, and blessed the promise gathered now.

* Hymn “Take My Life…” (Voices United #506 & Screen)Take my life, and let it be

consecrated, all for thee; take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.

“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of thy love; take my feet, and let them be swift and purposeful for thee.

Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from thee; take my intellect, and use every power as thou shalt choose.

“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

Take my will, and make it thine; it shall be no longer mine; take my heart, it is thine own; it shall be thy royal throne.

Take my love: and I will pour at thy feet its treasure store; take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for thee.

“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

Like a healing stream in a barren desert, Spirit water bringing life to dusty earth,

God is trickling through our lives as in a dream unfolding, promising revival and rebirth-

like a healing stream.

“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

Like a gentle rain on a thirsty garden, Spirit water come to nourish tiny seed,

God is bubbling through the soil to coax a new creation, yearning for an end to want and need-

like a gentle rain.

“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

Like a river strong with a restless current, Spirit water rushing on to distant shore,

God is carving out a channel in a new direction, calling for an end to hate and war-

like a river strong.

“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

Like a mighty sea reaching far horizons, Spirit water with a love both deep and wide,

God is working in our hearts to shape a new tomorrow: God will always challenge and provide!

Like a mighty sea, like a river strong, like a gentle rain, like a healing stream.

* Hymn “One More Step…”(Voices United #639 & Screen)One more step along the world

I go, one more step along the world I go, from the old things to the new, keep me traveling along with you:

And it’s from the old I travel to the new, keep me traveling along with you.

“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

Round the corner of the world, I turn, more and more about the world I learn; all the new things that I see you’ll be looking at along with me:

And it’s from the old I travel to the new, keep me traveling along with you.

“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

As I travel through the bad and good, keep me traveling the way I should; where I see no way to go you’ll be telling me the way, I know:

And it’s from the old I travel to the new, keep me traveling along with you.

“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

Give me courage when the world is rough, keep me loving though the world is tough, leap and sing in all I do, keep me traveling along with you.

And it’s from the old I travel to the new, keep me traveling along with you.

“To travel is to take a

journey into

yourself.”- David Kaye

You are older than the world can be, you are younger than the life in me, ever old and ever new, keep me traveling along with you:

And it’s from the old I travel to the new, keep me traveling along with you.
