Here We Are

"Here We Are" is a bright, welcoming gathering song that immediately sets a tone of unity and shared purpose. With its opening lines calling the community to sing joyfully together, it is a natural choice for an Entrance hymn, drawing the congregation into the celebration of the Mass as one family.

The melody is straightforward and uplifting, carrying a message of brotherhood and enduring faith. When the choir sings "Keep the fire burning, kindle it with care," it serves as a gentle reminder of our shared responsibility to nurture our faith and support one another. The second verse expands this call, encouraging us to "make the world an alleluia" and carry that joy out into our daily lives. It is the kind of piece that leaves both the singers and the congregation feeling connected and ready to worship.
