Lyrics:

”To Be Known”
Tune: WALTHAM (“I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day”)
Text: Anna Strickland, 2024
Music: John Baptiste Calkin (1872)

Recall the truth that we once knew:
We were not made for solitude
We need communities of faith
Where we can feel God’s warm embrace

For in the garden God declared
That our brief lives on earth be shared
With partners, friends, and family
Who hold us in our joy and grief

In every age humanity
Relied on mutuality
Our God-breathed spirits weren’t designed
To be divided and confined

Both you and I are intertwined
The warp and weft of humankind
So please don’t try to go alone
Your human heart needs to be known ©
