Lyrics:
God, creator of the heavens, earth and everything that lives,
this world is your home, and shines with glory that your presence gives.
Christ, your living sanctuary, Christ in whom you live in love,
is for us our healing shelter and our home with you above.
Hands have built this sanctuary, made it beautiful and new,
but it is our hearts that raise it up, a loving gift to you.
May this place give sacred shelter, welcome all who seek your face,
heal and strengthen hearts for service, be the home of light and grace.
Send us from this sanctuary out into the world you bless;
let this be the center of a growing ring of love and grace.
Let this be the nest from which your Holy Spirit takes its flight.
Make us all your sanctuary, bearing to the world your light.
