Though we’re strangers, still I love you.  I love you more than your mask.  And you know you have to trust this to be true, and I know that’s much to ask.  But lay down your fears, come and join this feast.  He has called us here, you and me.

And may peace rain down from Heaven like little pieces of the sky, Little keepers of the promise falling on these souls this drought has dried.  In His Blood and in His Body, in the Bread and in this Wine,

Peace to you.  Peace of Christ to you.

And though I love you, still we’re strangers, prisoners in these lonely hearts.  And though our blindness separates us, still His light shines in the dark.

And His outstretched arms are still strong enough behind these prison bars to set us free.

So may peace rain down from Heaven like little pieces of the sky, Little keepers of the promise falling on these souls this drought has dried.  In his Blood and in His Body, in the Bread and in this Wine,

Peace to you.  Peace of Christ to you.

…Where we break when our hearts are strong enough, We can bow ’cause our music’s warmer than blood.

Where we see enough to follow, We can hear when we are hollow.

Where we keep the light we’re given, We can lose and call it living…
