No mystery, save for your grace
your birth, death, resurrection,
mystery enough;
An open hand, open arms of love
no secret handshake, no hidden test
All loved, all welcome, all forgiven
all worthy of God’s grace
the sacrifice of our savior’s blood
his life for ours, all of ours, given
No special test for admission
just a love of God, service to our neighbor
in Christ’s holy name
