808: We Are God's Work of Art /Somos la Creación de Dios


Refrain:
We are God's work of art, fashioned in Christ,
fashioned to shine with goodness and light.
As it was from the start-- formed by this great, great love,
we are God's great, wondrous work of art.

1 When we were dead in sin, your brought us to life in Christ,
and raised us up, up to the heavens.

2 How rich is the grace of God, how strongt is the love of God,
to send us Christ for our salvation.

3 We are strangers no longer, outcasts no longer,
we are saints in the house of Gjod.

4 We are the temple that our God has fashioned,
in Christ we are the dwelling place of love.

5 From the foundation of the world you have chosen us,
destined in love to be your sons and daughters,
You have revealed to us the myst'ry of grace, to unite all things in Christ.
