Lessons of the First Church

We, today, building the church
in our place, our meagerness
little by little, proclaiming his name
sharing out of our blessing
God’s holy grace, given so freely
Witnessing to God’s healing
following the lessons of that first church
The apostles who had walked with Christ
Growing our faith, in the testimony
the praise of the beggar set free
able to walk by Christ’s name alone
watching day by day as God grows the church
