Author: Brian Wren Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: We offer Christ to all the world around us Lyrics: 1 We offer Christ to all the world around us,
born into faith, released from pride and shame;
Embraced by love, we show how love has found us;
at peace with God, we speak our Savior's name.
2 We offer Christ from all our best traditions,
by grace alone, amazed and strangely warmed,
Created equal, stirred by freedom-visions,
self-critical, prepared to be reformed.
3 We offer Christ the barrier-bestrider,
whose fullness far exceeds our local view,
Whose Spirit, breathing deep in every culture,
brings Christ to us, the same, yet strangely new.
4 We offer Christ and, God-beloved, our Savior
now offers us, born of the Spirit's kiss,
to love creation and creation's Lover,
with skill, compassion, justice, care and peace. Topics: Jesus Christ Savior; Witness; Year A Proper 16; Year C Proper 17; Year C Proper 20 Used With Tune: CHARTERHOUSE
