We are going to ask
the congregation to give
to give a little more for the missions
we hold dear, the things we feel called
to do in ministry to our world
in Jesus’ name, now
Not cutting the budgets, not trimming the sails
not turning our backs to the gales,
not running from the storm, from the challenge
the fight to come
We will boldly turn into the blast
find new resolve, new determination
to find the resources, the new members,
the new words, to find our way
to the higher ground, the calling of the Lord
reaching more in fellowship, in love
in covenant in Concord and beyond
