Lyrics
‘Kneelers’
Chorus
When we work together, as a community of love,
Weaving threads through time, we grow.
On bended knee, we thank the Lord above.
Valuing each other as we go.
Verse 1
Through the prayers of generations past, we are here to share it all.
Honouring those who inspire us and help us hear the call.
Poppies red as crimson, and a cross so bright and gold.
Wondrous sacrifices bringing freedom to our world.
Chorus
Verse 2
Dedications and commissions, join forces with design,
Crafting beauty and splendour, using thimbles, thread and twine.
Many stories told by young and old, woven lovingly at home,
Leaving cushioned memories, for the knees of those to come.
Bridge
May they pray for the mothers, pray for the sons,
Pray for the daughters, pray for everyone!
May they pray for each other, pray ‘till kingdom come,
Pray as they ought to, pray in rain or sun… ‘cause…
Last Chorus
When they work together, as a community of love,
Weaving threads through time, they’ll grow.
On bended knee, they’ll thank the Lord above.
Valuing each other as they go.
As they go.
