A House United

Light . . . through a window,
An invitation at the back door
The warmth of love alive,
Drawing me inside

I was walking through the forest,
My feet lost in the snow,
And then a face was looking toward me,
Like someone I should know,
And they were standing in a doorway,
In a house all full of glow
And there was no way that I could say no,
There was no way that I could say no...

[Chorus]
Welcome to a house united: two lives becoming one
Singers of a single story . . . that's just begun
It would be fair to be excited, and to celebrate a love
Already proven through the testing of our time,
But the reason we're invited is to witness here the promise
Of a heart that is eternal and divine, that says
"Welcome to this house; Welcome to a house I have united."

Grace, full and open;
Hearts that will not give up hoping
That with the coming of the Light,
All that's wrong will be made right

This mysterious adventure,
Partly hidden, partly seen,
Can send awry the best intentions,
Like scattered autumn leaves
So may your home be e'er a shelter,
Filled with hospitality,
A patch of heaven in this world's stormy sea,
A patch of heaven in this world's stormy sea...

[Chorus x2]
