One New People

Brought together by grace
by the love of God come down
separated by the law
brought together in love

One new people in Christ alone
members of one flock
sheep of the shepherd
the lamb of God,
the one who went to the cross

“Father in Heaven! Hold not our sins up against us but
hold us up against our sins so that the thought of You
when it wakens in our soul, and each time it wakens,
should not remind us of what we have committed but
of what You did forgive, not of how we went astray
but of how You did save us!”
