A Dazzling Bouquet Mine is the church where everybody’s welcome. I know it’s true ‘cuz I got through the door. We are a dazzling bouquet of every kind of flower. Jump in the vase ‘cuz we’ve got space for more.

Come here all you six foot gladiolas, Come, all you purple lilacs shining bright. Come, let us all bloom together in the garden: A carnival of fragrance and delight.

Mine is the church where everybody’s welcome. I know it’s true ‘cuz I got through the door. We are a dazzling bouquet of every kind of flower. Jump in the vase ‘cuz we’ve got space for more.

We don’t simply tolerate each other; We ask and tell; we don’t just turn away. We give attention to every bud and blossom. Let every face come grace the grand bouquet.

Mine is the church where everybody’s welcome. I know it’s true ‘cuz I got through the door. We are a dazzling bouquet of every kind of flower. Jump in the vase ‘cuz we’ve got space for more.

Our demons keep trying to divide us; They document their lies to make them true. Today we’re freed from our judging and excluding. Just look around, enjoy the lovely view.
