Acting on Our Salvation

All the joy, the songs
praises to God
nothing without action
acting on our salvation
the assurance of our freedom
not for us alone
but to share with the world

Changed, or so we should be,
in the moment of believing
joy informing us
setting our feet, our voice,
our hearts in motion
to toil in the fields
the vineyards of the kingdom
sowing seeds of hope
for every people, all the nations
to the ends of the earth.
