about

Originally recorded for worship at Edmonds United Methodist Church

lyrics

When the poor ones, who have nothing, 
still are giving;

when the thirsty pass the cup,
water to share;


when the wounded offer others 
strength and healing:

We see God, here by our side,
 walking our way.

We see God, here by our side,
 walking our way.


When compassion gives the suffering
 consolation;

when expecting brings to birth
 hope that was lost;


when we choose love, not the hatred
 all around us:



We see God, here by our side,
 walking our way.

We see God, here by our side,
 walking our way.


When our spirits, like a chalice, 
brim with gladness;

when our voices, full and clear,
 sing out the truth;


when our longings, free from envy,
 seek the humble

We see God, here by our side,
 walking our way.

We see God, here by our side,
 walking our way.


When the goodness poured from heaven
 fills our dwellings;

when the nations work to change
 war into peace;


when the stranger is accepted
 as our neighbor:

We see God, here by our side,
 walking our way.

We see God, here by our side,
 walking our way.
