We gather here, a motley crew
Of hurt and faith and hope
Of people learning how to love
The way that Jesus showed
We worship while our woe and want
Pray, take a lesser place
All diff’rent , yet with common bond
Of sinners saved by grace
Together we with grateful heart
Unite to sing love’s praise
To He who loves this motley art
Of faulty human ways
The eyes of He who sees within
Should turn away, but He
Beholds the blood that covers sin
And thereby sets us free
We gather here, a motley crew
Of need and humble joy
To celebrate hope anchored in
He which none can destroy

a death that led to His resurrection and triumph over sin's curse; death!
His promise in verse 33:
I have said these things to you, that
