Our doors open, our hearts without guile
our hands welcoming, ushering them in
may the sorrowful find comfort, a place to grieve
to be lifted up, to be renewed, to find a listening ear
May they know we are here, open to them
that they are our guest, and their concerns
are part of our prayer, that they would find comfort
and the peace of the Lord
