Pastor
Grace catches you unawares
In holy moments when souls are bared
What a strange privilege to be
So close to the heart of Mystery
Speaking now before your friends
What an odd means to usher in
Resurrection power and dazzling light
The Spirit breathing love and life
You break the bread, you pour the wine
Your eyes transfixed on Love Divine
Christ for us, what hope, what joy!
A Power that hate can never destroy
You speak your prayers into the dark
You triumph with God and you miss the mark
You plan, you laugh, you ache, and you cry
You see life come and you watch it die
And in all of this, just underneath
The invisible God doth move and speak
So you take the risk that keeps you safe
You walk with God in loyal faith
So sing, pastor, sing!
To Him Who wraps His love around you
All your thanks and praise bring
To Him Whose grace has found you
What a blessing is the call
God is faithful through it all
So with your friends, lift your eyes
For our Lover comes; we will rise
