Commissioned with the Saints

The words of the psalm
a revelation of our place in the world
our heads anointed with oil
blessed by our savior’s grace

Commissioned with the saints
humbly we bow
before our savior’s face
we accept our cross

To be your hands and feet
your voice crying in this wilderness
redeeming all with his sacrifice
proclaiming justice in his name

Fired by the Spirit
still burning within
we continue his mission
to tell the whole world
