VocalEssence Chorus and Ensemble Singers

Help me, Lord, find the common ground
between the high and the low, between the poor and the rich,
between the old and the young, between the black and the white.
Help me find the common ground
between the shouting and the silence, between the bound and the free,
between the brief and the joy, between the heart and the mind.
Open us, Lord, guide us to that meeting place,
where we can see each other, hear each other,
care for each other.
Where we can sing together, work together,
play together on the common ground.
come, let us meet together on the common ground.
–Alice Parker
