Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #28 (2013) Topics: Jesus Christ The Way Lyrics: 1 Christ leads!
From the shore to the hills,
from the hills to the plain,
Christ leads.
In the chill of despair
and the clamor of change
Christ Jesus is our guide.
God be praised!
2 Christ calls!
From the sorrows of war
and the doorways of pain,
Christ calls.
In the silence of fear
and the anger of need
Christ Jesus speaks today.
God be praised!
3 Christ waits!
Crucified by the powers,
undefeated, alive.
Christ waits.
To the worship of force
and the praise of revenge
Christ Jesus teaches peace.
God be praised!
4 Christ sings!
In a people reborn,
reconciling, renamed,
Christ sings.
In communion feast
and community praise
Christ Jesus makes us one.
God be praised!
5 Christ comes!
In the word on the street
and the word that forgives,
Christ comes.
At the end of the day,
at the ultimate end,
Christ Jesus lives and leads.
God be praised!
