    Refrain:

    You’re not alone, we are one body
    You’re not alone, we stand with you
    You’re not alone, your time of suffering is our suffering too
    And I know the day is coming when we will be rejoicing anew

    1. Many members in this body that we know
      Some are great and some are small
      Eyes and ears and hands and just a little toe
      One God who activates them all… (refrain)
    2. One body, Spirit-formed and Spirit-fed
      Different genders, rich and poor
      A banquet where the least sit at the head
      One body broken for the world… (refrain)
    3. Look close, you’ll see this body’s not a pretty sight
      Wounds and blemishes and sores
      But with the saints of every place and point in time
      We are the body of our Lord… oh Lord… (final refrain)

    Final Refrain:

    We’re not alone, we are one body
    We’re not alone, we wait for You
    We’re not alone, our time of suffering is Your suffering too
    And I know the day is coming, I know the day is coming,
    Yes I know the day is coming when we will be rejoicing anew.

  • In Indonesia, the congregation that worships in the Holy Stadium in Semarang (Jemaat Kristen Indonesia — JKI) includes dancers during the worship through music. This introduces creative, expressive art and provides another ‘language’ to worship the Lord. An expression of the heart, movements symbolize honour, adoration, joy and thanksgiving. Dance can include tambourine, ribbons, banners and other objects. Movements are usually structured with specific meanings; the patterns are familiar across churches. The dance team follows the lead of the worship leader and music director, united in one heart to glorify God and to usher the congregants into God’s presence.

  • Assembly PA 2015: A time to celebrate together

    MWC Assembly 2015 has begun. Reunions, hugs, and joy on our faces as we began our time of celebration together in our global family. Our worship time began with an invitation to join our Native American brothers and sisters in reconciliation and to move forward together in peace. Danisa Ndlovu and César García encouraged us to peace, to walk with God together.
