This song was commissioned to celebrate 162 years of ministry of Our Savior's Lutheran Church (OSLC) in Milwaukee, WI. The final service will is/was on Sunday, July 26, 2020. Although the physical doors will close, the community will continue as will the many ministries begotten here such as The Next Door Foundation, and others. OSLC was my home church for many years, and I was one of the ministers of music there for some time. I played for funerals, baptisms and weddings there. I raised my children there. It was a place where memories of pain and joy embrace. I hope that this song recognizes the pain of the closing, but celebrates the years of vibrant ministry, and leaves us with a sense of hope. God does not dwell in temples but in hearts filled with Agape love.
The song can also be used during the pandemic as we strive to be a church in spirit without walls. Biblical references: Romans 8:38-39, Acts 17:24 This product includes the piano vocal score, optional choral parts for closing measures, and the congregational lead sheet for reproduction in church bulletins. Please be sure to report church usage to CCLI. Complete lyrics are available on the YouTube description and at www.worldhousemusic.org Thanks! Dr. Abe
