By their words, of memory, of love
they shared a bit of her life’s story
But in their dance, varied and wondrous,
they revealed the power of her ministry
a legacy of praise, of beautiful worship
They brought her into the sanctuary,
into this holy space, filling the room
with her love, her legacy sang praises to God
this holy ground, this space, this place
Worship she brought, these disciples of hers
a legacy of dance, sacred dance
to the glory of God
Continuing her ministry
for generations to come
