Four Walls
Beyond Four Walls: Embracing Love, Compassion, and the Call
Lyrics
There's a building where we all meet
There is a specific place where everyone gathers.
Reading words that Jesus preached
People read and discuss the teachings of Jesus in this place.
There is room for all in these four walls
Within these walls, there is space for everyone.
To go out on the street
Despite being within these walls, there's a call to go outside and engage with the world.
Bring the outcast and all in need
The mission is to bring in those who are marginalized and in need.
To the banquet hall of these four walls
Refers to a metaphorical banquet hall within these walls, symbolizing abundance and inclusivity.
We hear You on the wind
Recognition of a divine presence or message in the wind.
Calling out again
There's a repeated call to action through the divine message in the wind.
To make room for all, for all
Emphasis on creating space for everyone.
But do we walk out the door
Questioning if the listeners actually act on the call or stay within their comfort zone.
And forget who Your love is for
Expressing a concern about forgetting the inclusive nature of divine love.
'Cause we're comfortable in these four walls
Being complacent and comfortable within the confines of the established community.
The truth is I'm so afraid
Admitting fear, possibly of stepping outside the comfort zone.
Will you move me and make me brave
Expressing a desire to be moved and strengthened to respond to the divine call.
To pursue Your call from these four walls
Challenged to pursue a divine calling beyond the walls.
We hear You on the wind
Reiteration of hearing the divine message in the wind.
Calling out again
Re-emphasizing the call to make room for everyone.
To make room for all, for all
Repetition of the call for inclusivity and creating space for all.
We hear You on the wind
Reiteration of hearing the divine message in the wind.
Calling out again
Repeated emphasis on making room for all.
To make room for all, for all
Reiteration of the call for inclusivity and creating space for all.
Rincon, Santa Rita
Names of places, possibly signifying geographical locations relevant to the theme.
Tucson, Catalina
Continuation of naming places, reinforcing the idea of inclusivity across various locations.
Room for all
Reiteration of the concept that there is room for everyone.
