Humble Beginnings

They didn't have a building of their own
But they had a call to answer
And God's word to make known
There was a new community to serve
And a need for "Here I am, Lord"
From someone with the nerve
So as the wind from the orange groves
Blew on that fateful morn
A new family in Christ was born

From humble beginnings
We gather here today
What God has created
The world can't take away
The call is still the same
His love we will proclaim
And until the job is done we're here to stay

They didn't have a place where they could stay
They'd come all the way from Galilee
With a baby on the way
The rooms were all full for the night
But there was space in the barn
If that would be alright
So as the star shone on that silent night
O'er a lowly manger stall
The son of God came for us all

No matter were you're headed
No matter where you're from
As long as you're with Jesus Christ
The best is yet to come
