From lyrics by Eddie Watkins, Jr.:
We’re not alone and there’s nothing we have to do on our own, because we are the place where God lives, moves and breathes and has Its being.
We are the place where God shows up.
I am the place, you are the place, we are the place where God shows up.
Responsive Reading for Sunday, January 14
“Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst’” (John 6:35).
I’m not alone and there’s nothing
I have to do on my own, because
I am the place where God lives,
moves and breathes and has Its being,
I am the place where God shows up.
“Jesus spoke to them again, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life’” (John 8:12).
You’re not alone and there’s nothing
you have to do on your own, because
you are the place where God lives,
moves and breathes and has Its being,
You are the place where God shows up.
“I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father” (John 10:14-15),;
We’re not alone and there’s nothing
we have to do on our own, because
we are the place where God lives,
moves and breathes and has Its being,
We are the place where God shows up.
“Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing” (John 15:4-5).
I am the place where God shows up.
You are the place where God shows up.
We are the place where God shows up.
I am the place, you are the place,
we are the place where God shows up.
