Title: Ten o’clock
(by AndiBecker Proms)

Ten o’clock…

The sign says “Welcome,” but the doors stay still,
A street outside, a silence in the hill.
Ten on the clock, yet the chairs are bare,
A few small candles trying to burn the air.

We came with questions, we came with need,
We came for water—something we can drink.
But waiting feels louder than any creed,
And hope can tremble on the edge of “think.”

If we believe what we say we believe,
Let our footsteps match our words.
If we carry a light for the broken to see,
Let it open our doors.
Not perfect saints—just faithful hearts,
On time, awake, and sure:
A church is more than a schedule on a wall—
It’s love that shows up at the door.

The pastor’s coming… later than the time,
A message waiting in an empty line.
How do the seekers learn to trust the voice,
When even shepherds treat the call as noise?

Children are watching, strangers pass by,
They measure truth by what we do and don’t.
We preach “Come near,” but we don’t ask why
Our “Yes” is weak… and our “Amen” won’t.

Maybe we’re tired… maybe we’re afraid,
Maybe we forgot the vows we made.
To seek the lost, to bind the wounds,
To pray like fire in quiet rooms.

So teach us, Lord, to start again—
Not with excuses, but with “Here I am.”
Make us the hands we lift in song,
Make us the feet that don’t delay.

If we believe what we say we believe,
Let our footsteps match our words.
If we carry a light for the broken to see,
Let it open our doors.
Not perfect saints—just faithful hearts,
Together, humble, sure:
A church is not a sermon finally begun—
It’s love that arrives… and endures.

Ten o’clock…
Let it mean: we’re here.

BACKGROUND STORY – “Ten o’clock”

On Sunday mornings, the sign is clear: “Service starts at 10:00.” People pass by and slow down. A few even stop—hoping to find warmth, direction, maybe a place to belong. But the doors stay closed. The building looks awake, yet the entrance feels locked in silence. Minutes stretch. The handful inside waits without knowing whether to sit, to pray, or to leave.

Then the door finally opens—late. Not with joy, but with hurry. Those who arrived on time feel awkward for caring. Those who came curious feel confirmed in their doubts: if this message is so important, why does it begin with delay? The church may say “Welcome,” but a late welcome often lands like indifference.

And then, even later, the pastor arrives. The sermon begins as if nothing happened—words about faithfulness, commitment, and truth. Yet the room has already heard a different sermon: the one preached by the closed door and the missing shepherd. In that gap, trust leaks away. Children notice. Visitors notice. The faithful notice too, and quietly wonder how a community can invite the world to take God seriously while it struggles to take its own gathering seriously.

This song is a gentle lament and a call back to integrity: not perfection, but consistency. If we preach a God who shows up, then let our welcome show up as well—on time, with open doors, ready hearts, and a shepherd who arrives early enough to greet the flock before speaking to them.
