My most popular title, “Here Together” (with lyrics for “Gathering” and for “Going Forth”) was written to be used as liturgical “bookmarks,” denoting the sacred time of worship at the Unitarian Universalists of the Cumberland Valley, where I served as music director for many years.  The piece has been used at UUA General Assemblies, conferences, and other events, as well as by other UU congregations across the world. Includes piano score, SATB choir charts, and optional bass chart.  (Also available in "refrains-only" format, perfect for congregational use.)

Lyrics

There is a place I love to call my own.
There is a peace I only feel in shar­ing it with you,
and let­ting you share too.
It makes the wel­come real.

Singing alone, it lets my heart shine through,
but there is a music in your soul
that joins its voice with mine.
It’s only then we find the kind of peace we know is true.

We are here, here togeth­er,
in this holy moment,
and we’re grate­ful for
the wind­ing road
that brought us to this place.

Even a word that left me bruised before,
even a name I’d learned to fear is wel­come in this place.
It helps me see the face of God
to greet my out­casts here.

We are here, here togeth­er,
in this holy moment,
and we’re grate­ful for
the wind­ing road
that brought us to this place.

And this dis­so­nance we bold­ly sing
resolves us to one goal:

We will spend time togeth­er,
and these holy moments
give us strength to go
down the wind­ing road
until we meet again.

We have spent time togeth­er,
and these holy moments
give us strength to go
down the wind­ing road
until we meet again.
