Lyrics

Upon this rock
Our cross and spire
built in a land
of quake and fire
built in a land
of quake and fire
of quake and fire
Fragile as glass
fragile as glass
bright as the air
Fragile as glass
fragile as glass
bright as the air
the angled walls
folded in prayer
the angled walls
folded in prayer
Under the sun
of western skies
we re-enact
the sacrifice
we re-enact
the sacrifice
the sacrifice
Bread of the earth
bread of the earth
fruit of the vine
Bread of the earth
bread of the earth
fruit of the vine
the tortured flesh
revealed divine
the tortured flesh
revealed divine
The ancient words
fill this new space
redeeming us
with unearned grace
with unearned grace
Rededicate, rededicate
this crystal spire
Rededicate, rededicate
this crystal spire
built in a land
of quake and fire
built in a land
of quake and fire
Amen
