We Are Your People
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.
