"This Is Our Time . . ."

1984-2006
This is our time to shine together,
Not to scatter,
It is our time to do
What God has always asked us to do
It is our time to rise
With our faith in God
No matter who doesn’t believe.
It our time to finally break out
From our separate worlds
And begin to care
As much like God
As we can.
