Singing Our Faith ~ Circle of Friends
by Jim Manley
1. Come and sit together in a circle of friends
Be at home, be at peace, be at rest.
Come and sit together in a circle of friends,
Sitting in a circle is best.
Laugh (echo), cry (echo), live (echo), die (echo),
Hello (echo), goodbye (echo),
And God make us a circle of friends.
2. Somewhere it is evening and the woods fill up with
moonlight.
The creatures make their music and the word is on
the wind.
There’s a fire in the clearing and the voices you are
hearing
Are the singing of a circle of friends.
Chorus
One: We come –
All: To center ourselves,
to open ourselves,
to remember ourselves.
And to celebrate the life we share
together.
3. Once when it was night and he sat with them at
supper
He told them that this feast was the beginning and
the end.
And he made the bread his body and he made the
wine his blood
And he gave them to his circle of friends.
Chorus
4. Somewhere it is morning and the church fills up
with sunlight.
The Spirit’s in the music and the word is on the
wind.
There is fire on the table and the bread and wine
are speaking
And God makes us a circle of friends. Chorus
