Time to Heal

Here is a
greeting and welcome or
call to worship that could be used with call and response format. It may be more effective to simply have the worship leader recite it from memory.
Time to Heal
not the bells, but the ringing
not the song, but the singing
not the candles, but the fire
burning Spirit who inspires
not the words, but the tilling
not the silence, but the stilling
none here strangers, all are neighbors
time to heal now from our labors
