A ramp, a roof, a residence
all the projects of the mission
our service to the community
far down the road from our neighborhood
a long ways from our comfort zone,
picking up tools,
carrying God’s love
out into the world
remembering our call,
we all share,
to be there, out there,
building the house of God
the community of faith
on the foundation of your love
