Community of Christ

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 12.12.12.12 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Oppression First Line: Community of Christ, who make the cross your own Lyrics: 1 Community of Christ, who make the cross your own, live out your creed and risk your life for God alone: the God who wears your face, to whom all worlds belong, whose children are of every race and every song. 2 Community of Christ, look past the church's door and see the refugee, the hungry, and the poor. Take hands with the oppressed, the jobless in your street, take towel and water, that you wash your neighbor's feet. 3 Community of Christ, through whom the word must sound– cry out for justice and for peace the whole world round: disarm the pow'rs that war and all that can destroy, turn bombs to bread, and tears of anguish into joy. 4 When menace melts away, so shall God's will be done, the climate of the world be peace and Christ its Sun; our currency be love and kindliness our law, our food and faith be shared as one for evermore.

In Christ we ow to serve the weak and lobby for the dispossessed. 4 And if we find out how and when to show them they are not alone, we will not proudly be their voice, but humbly help them find their own. 5 Their kindness, anger, or distrust are angels, calling us to see the fear, the need to have and hold, that frame our own captivity. 6 In Christ we live, and life is more than learning love and doing good, so praise, and pray, and trust in God who makes the earth our neighborhood.
