There Is Room Here

[Intro] Beloved, come as you are There is room here For the names you carry And the names still forming [Verse 1] Set down the map beside the door Let every guarded face be seen Your tender truth can take its place No shape of love is asked to leave [Pre-Chorus] I make a shelter with my hands You make a shelter with your heart Between us, all the doors swing wide And every becoming can start [Chorus] Come, beloved, take your place Every soul may wear its colors Ease and beauty, joy and grace Find a home among each other Many forms, one living flame Many paths, one boundless garden We are love with room to change We are welcome, we are welcome [Verse 2] Let laughter loosen what was tight Let quiet have its honest say The old divides grow soft and small As difference flowers in the day [Pre-Chorus] I meet your wonder without fear You meet my becoming with care We keep a promise, warm and clear: No one is diminished here [Chorus] Come, beloved, take your place Every soul may wear its colors Ease and beauty, joy and grace Find a home among each other Many forms, one living flame Many paths, one boundless garden We are love with room to change We are welcome, we are welcome [Bridge] Not one face, but countless faces Not one way to be made whole Every difference brings its music Every body bears a soul May our union guard the freedom Of each life that enters in May our tenderness make space For the worlds we’re bringing in [Call and Response] Who is welcome? — Every being What may unfold? — Every true form What shall hold us? — Care and wonder What shall guide us? — Joy reborn [Final Chorus] Come, beloved, take your place Every soul may wear its colors Ease and beauty, joy and grace Find a home among each other Many forms, one living flame Many paths, one boundless garden We are love with room to change We are welcome, we are welcome [Outro] Beloved, come as you are There is room here There is room here
