Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:13 Lyrics: 1 Dear Christ, uplifted from the earth,
your arms stretched out above
through every culture, every birth,
to draw an answering love.
2 Still east and west your love extends,
and always, near and far,
you call and claim us as your friends
and love us as we are.
3 Where age and gender, class and race,
divide us to our shame,
you see a person and a face,
a neighbour with a name.
4 May we, accepted as we are,
yet called in grace to grow,
reach out to others, near and far
your healing love to show. Topics: Ascension; Jesus Christ Friend; Jesus Christ Crucifixion; One Life in Christ Love; Welcome / Acceptance Used With Tune: DUNLAP'S CREEK
