On Purple Cover.

Our church is inviting and open

Simple chairs set in line

Filled by people with expectancy

Welcome received more than a token

Hearts knowing it is a special time

Seeking answers to matters of complexity

Believing prayer preceded all who sit

Heaven engaged with cords of power

When two agree on matters of eternal worth

Life’s broken pieces reformed to perfect fit

He who promised steps into the hour

And heavens love touches Hunslet’s earth

The pulpit place is prepared and fitting

On purple cover an open bible ready

Sharing the reading are ten generations

Who in the past once sat where we are sitting

Living bible ministry builds lives strong and steady

With love, purpose and witness in conversation

Supremacy of scripture and primacy of preaching

Core values the foundation where we stand

Our imagination blessed with inspiration

In service for our Saviour ever reaching

Precious people, local and across the land

For Preachers of truth have known perspiration

Dry theology they leave at home

Truth is better received fresh on delivery

New and fresh bread preferred to old and stale

It is evident our preacher is not a clone

Filled with joy the message is spoken with sincerity

In faith beyond reason the Lord Jesus here alive, real
