Communion

I was glad when they said let us go into the house of the Lord

Not only because I could worship the Lord again

But because I could do so with the brethren

There's nothing like this house filled with a coterie of His own

The deep communion of hearts singing together as one

The sound of pure music being lifted up as incense to His throne

There definitely is no place like home

It's not just the smiles of love but also the nods of deep conviction

It's not just the songs of praise but also the screams of His promised visitation

Oh the joy of this full house

The sounds of life that no plague or disease can douse

The coming together of the ones that feel His very heart

And the connection of the hearts that can never be truly torn apart

Twas what made me glad when they said we should go to the house of the Lord

And yes! Because I could worship the one that binds us together with love's everlasting cord.
