1 We are your people,
Lord, by Your grace,
you dare to make us
Christ to our neighbors
of every nation and race.
2 Called to portray You,
help us to live
closer than neighbors,
open to strangers,
able to clash and forgive.
3 Glad of tradition,
help us to see
in all life's changing
where you are leading,
where our best efforts should be.
4 Joined in community,
breaking your bread,
May we discover
gifts in each other,
Willing to lead and be led.
5 Lord, as we minister
in different ways,
May all we're doing
show that you're living,
meeting your love with our praise.
