Spirit of grace,
you dare to make us
Christ to our neighbors
of every culture and place.
2 Joined in community,
treasured and fed,
may we discover
gifts in each other,
willing to lead and be led.
3 Rich in diversity,
help us to live
closer than neighbors,
open to strangers,
able to clash and forgive.
4 Glad of tradition,
help us to see
in all life's changing,
where Christ is leading,
where our best efforts should be.
5 Give, as we venture,
justice and care
(peaceful, insisting,
risking, resisting),
wisdom to know when and where.
6 Spirit, unite us,
make us, by grace,
willing and ready,
Christ's living body,
loving the whole human race. Used With Tune: WHITFIELD
