THE TIME IS NOW Debbie Friedman

The time is now

We=ve gathered round

So bring all your gifts,

And bring all your burdens with you

No need to hide

Arms open wide

We gather as one

To make a ma-kom ka-dosh

We come to tell

We come to hear

We come to teach, to learn

We come to grow

And so we say,

The time is now

Sing to the One

God=s presence is here,

Sh=china you will dwell among us

We=ll make this space

A holy place

So separate, so whole,

Rejoice every soul

Who enters here.
