Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #486 (1995) Meter: 5.5.5.4 D First Line: Who is my mother Lyrics: 1 Who is my mother,
who is my brother?
All those who gather
round Jesus Christ:
Spirit-blown people
born from the gospel
sit at the table,
round Jesus Christ.
2 Differently abled,
differently labeled
widen the circle
round Jesus Christ,
crutches and stigmas,
culture's enigmas,
all come together
round Jesus Christ.
3 Love will relate us --
color or status
can't segregate us,
round Jesus Christ:
family failings,
human derailings --
all are accepted,
round Jesus Christ.
4 Bound by one vision,
met for one mission
we claim each other,
round Jesus Christ:
here is my mother,
here is my brother,
kindred in Spirit,
through Jesus Christ. Topics: God's Church Christian Community; God's Church Christian Community; Christian Community; Dignity and Equality; Family; Lord's Supper Scripture: Mark 3:31-35 Languages: English Tune Title: KINDRED
Who Is My Mother, Who Is My Brother?
