Inspired by lyrics to “One Heart” by Jan Garrett & JD Martin):
There’s a new Church on the horizon, made of light, not of stone, calling now to all creation, “You are not alone.” We are One Heart, looking for answers.
We are One Soul, finding our way through the dark. Hold out your hand. Someone will take it and bring you home again. One dream, we share together. We are all a part of One Heart.
We are One Heart, One Soul, One Dream we share together.
We are One Heart, looking for answers; One Soul, finding our way through the dark.
One Dream, we share together. We are all a part of One Heart.
