*Call to Worship Bruce Stark
L: As we live and as God lives
C: God will not leave us
L: When fire devours, and storms blow us astray
C: God will not leave us
L: When truth is vailed and confusion reigns
C: God will not leave us
L: When we long to speak, but find no words
C: God will not leave us
L: When all around us are silent
C: God will not leave us
L: When faithfulness feels beyond us
C: God will not leave us
L: As we live and as God lives
ALL: We worship the One who will not leave us
