One Who Stands Among Us

Is there one who stands among us
Who can sing sweet Zion’s songs
Who can comfort us with music
When the nights grow cold and long?

Is there one who stands among us
Who can teach our hearts to sing?
Songs so sweet and so persuasive
That the winter feels like spring?

Is there one who stands among us
Who will walk the narrow road?
Doing justice and loving kindness
Walking humbly with her God
One who dare to teach us walking
Even we who cannot stand
One who loves and lifts and leads us
With her gentle giving hands

Yes, there is one who stands among us
One whose call is bright and clear
God, keep her ever safe and faithful
Who stands among us here

Is there one who stands among us full of grace and clothed in truth?
Who has learned the elder’s wisdom
Who is winsome as a youth?
Is there one whose vision sees us
As a grace-filled family?
Young and old now bound together
In a holy unity

Is there one who stands among us
Who will make this place her home?
Who will join us on the journey
Even when the cold days come?
Is there one who’ll help us welcome
Ev’ry stranger as a friend
While we strive to be the agents
Of a love that knows no end?

Yes, there is one who stands among us
One whose call is bright and clear
God, keep her ever safe and faithful
Who stands among us here

Now, to you, our friend and sister,
Who has heard the call divine
Who will break the bread for feasting
Who will fill the cup with wine?
We have pledged our firm intention
Now to follow where you lead
As we live the truth that frees us
That Christ is Lord indeed

Yes, there is one who stands among us
One whose call is bright and clear
God, keep her ever safe and faithful
Who stands among us here
God, keep her ever safe and faithful
Who stands among us here
