In concrete, brick and living stone God builds a trysting place
a sign of contradicting love, an earth and heaven space.
Here, as the doors remain ajar, the city’s cry and care,
inform God’s worship that earth’s work needs justice joined to prayer.

Lyrics to “In concrete, brick and living stone,” by John L Bell and Graham Maule
