...shown up dressed alike

Here we are  Lord.

We’re dressed in suits and blue jeans,

Skirts and capris,

Sandals and high heels,

Polo shirts and ties.

Here we are Lord.

We’re dressed in robes of celebration,

Masks of insecurity,

The sack cloth and ashes of mourning and grief.

Here we are Lord,

And we’ve shown up dressed alike ---

Clothed in your mercy and grace.

We’ve all shown up dressed alike---

And we are grateful.

We stand in awe of your ability to speak to each of us,

All of us,

And we are listening.
