Word and Music by Greg Gilpin

A sound of hope, a sound of peace,

a sound that celebrates and speaks what we believe.

A sound of love, a sound so strong.

It’s amazing what is given when we share a song.

This is why we sing, why we lift our voice,

why we stand as one in harmony.

This is why we sing, why we lift our voice.

Take my hand and sing with me.

Soothe a soul, mend a heart,

bring together lives that have been torn apart.

Share the joy, find a friend.

It’s a never-ending gift that circles back again.

This is why we sing, why we lift our voice,

why we stand as one in harmony.

This is why we sing, why we lift our voice.

Take my hand and sing with me.

Music builds a bridge; it can tear down a wall.

Music is a language that can speak to one and all!

This is why we sing, why we lift our voice,

why we stand as one in harmony.

This is why we sing, why we lift our voice,

take my hand and sing with me.

why we stand as one in harmony.

This is why we sing, why we lift our voice.

Take my hand and sing with me.
