There Is No Void

Out of the fullness of one flesh
Out of the joy of our hearts
Love overflows this vessel
This marriage of which we’re a part.

As covenant keepers He keeps us
There is no void that we are trying to fill
We share the acceptance and we share the trust
There is only abundance and only His will.

For we are partakers of blessing
All covenant children of grace
Adopted as heirs now confessing
Sheer joy at being embraced

There is room at our table
So come on inside
For God makes us able
To protect and provide.
For you now have a place
A forever family
An inheritance of grace
A new identity

For there’s always a risk in loving
But there’s more risk in standing alone
Come join us as children of promise
We were orphans but now we are home.

For we were all orphans and widows
Before we were found we were lost
Our dancing was founded in mourning
And we sing as we’re counting a cost

There is room at our table
So come on inside
For God makes us able
To protect and provide.
For you now have a place
A forever family
An inheritance of grace
A new identity

Come become a child to the Father
The children that the Spirit bears
For our firstborn brother made the way
For our adoption as children and heirs.
