Author: William Watkins Reid, Jr., 1923-2007 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #365 (2013) Lyrics: 1 The city is alive, O God,
with sound of rushing feet,
with flashing lights and rapid change
that pulse through every street.
But oft there's inhumanity
behind the bright facade,
and empty souls with hungry hearts
cry out for help, O God.
2 O God, inspire your church today
to take Christ's servant role,
to love the world, to hear its claims
to sense its yearning soul,
to live within the marketplace,
to serve both weak and strong,
to lose herself, to share her dream,
to give the world her song! Topics: Challenge; City; Ministry; Mission; Service; Sharing; Witness Scripture: Matthew 23:37 Languages: English Tune Title: THAXTED
