We All Are One Mission

1.  We all are one in mission,
    We all are one in call,
    Our varied gifts united
    By Christ, the Lord of all.
    A single, great commission
    Compels us from above
    To plan and work together
    That all may know Christ's love.

2.  We all are called for service
    To witness in God's name;
    Our ministries are different,
    Our purpose is the same:
    To touch the lives of others
    By God's surprising grace
    So every folk and nation
    May feel God's warm embrace.

3.  Now let us be united
    And let our song be heard.
    Now let us be a vessel
    For God's redeeming word.
    We all are one in mission,
    We all are one in call,
    Our varied gifts united
    By Christ, the Lord of all.
