Give us a mission and a calling,
Before we know it, we are falling,
More in love...more in love.
Send us to the hungry and downtrodden,
Send us to those who are forgotten,
For they are weak...they are weak.
Teach us to number our hours,
Before our life sours,
We look to you...we look to you.
Prepare us now for the next great thing,
Prepare us now so that our hearts will always sing,
We lift praise...we lift praise.
Oh, that our lives would be as an incense to You,
an offering, and a pleasing fragrance for you to accrue,
We arise...we arise!

The rhythm? Smooth as butter. Almost feels like it could be a song.
