A single, great commission compels us from above to plan and work together that all may know Christ’s love. 2 We all are called for service to witness in God’s name. Our ministries are diff’rent, our purpose is the same: to touch the lives of others by God’s surprising grace, so people of all nations may feel God’s warm embrace. 3 We all behold one vision, a stark reality; the steward of salvation was nailed upon a tree. Yet resurrected Justice gives rise that we may share free reconciliation and hope amid despair. 4 Now let us be united and let our song be heard. Now let us be a vessel for God’s redeeming Word. We all are one in mission, we all are one in call, Our varied gifts united by Christ, the Lord of all. Scripture: Matthew 28:18-20 Used With Tune: NYLAND
