Here in the Red and White Tent

Here in the Red and White Tent

Here in this tent

            We are singing

Here in this tent
            We are praying.

The one at the top of the hill

            Striped red and white.

Here in this tent

            He preaches truth and grace
Here in this tent
            He translates with enthusiasm and rhythm.

The one at the top of the hill

With the two-holed toilet down below.

Here in this tent

            They dance as they sing
Here in this tent
            They moved into the isle.

The one down the long bumpy road

We sit and we stand full of people.

Here in this tent

            We are called to finish well
Here in this tent
            We know and worship.

In this red and white tent at the top of the hill

Here in rural Africa.
