Author: Joy F. Patterson Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 We all are now one people
for Christ is our peace;
he has paid, with his own body,
the price of our release
from the hatreds that divide us,
that all enmity may ceae.
2 The walls that stood between us,
suspicion or pride,
long tradition, fear or envy,
by Christ has been destroyed;
reconciled to God and others,
we are saved and justified.
3 Through Christ and through the Spirit
we are, by God's Word,
fellow citizens and members
of the household of the Lord,
no longer alien strangers
but friends in blessed accord.
4 Let all who follow Jesus,
those called by Christ's name,
live his love toward every person,
known or unknown, just the same:
let us follow Christ's example
as his promises we claim. Topics: Diversity; Family of God; Love for each other; Ministry and Service Scripture: Ephesians 2:14-19 Used With Tune: CHERRY TREE CAROL
