Lord, You Give the Great Commission

Lest the church neglect its mission And the gospel go unheard, Help us witness to your purpose With renewed integrity: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 2 Lord, you call us to your service: "In my name baptize and teach." That the world may trust your promise, Life abundant meant for each, Give us all new fervor, draw us Closer in community: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 3 Lord, you make the common holy: "This my body, this my blood." Let us all, for earth's true glory, Daily lift life heavenward, Asking that the world around us Share your children's liberty: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 4 Lord, you show us love's true measure: "Father, what they do, forgive." Yet we hoard as private treasure All that you so freely give. May your care and mercy lead us To a just society: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 5 Lord, you bless with words assuring: "I am with you to the end." Faith and hope and love restoring, May we serve as you intend And, amid the cares that claim us, Hold in mind eternity: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry.
