This setting of Greg Funderburk’s beautiful lyrics are set to an Irish Melody, traditionally known as The Parting Glass. The text describes a journey to grace, as the soloist is beckoned by the pealing of bells toward a place of worship where the singer is welcomed as family. The wide-opened arms of fellowship create a miracle of love with kindred company, and “place” becomes filled with “grace.” We find, we sing, and we share “God’s blessing and God’s peace.”
