The daunting tasks of our calling
now as surely as then
to go and make disciples
out into the world
to every tribe, every nation
to offering them your love and mercy
to the ends of the earth
Only because of your promise
that You are with me
can I lift my clay
moving out of my comfort
to bear my witness
to be Christ’s hands and feet
only by the Spirit’s power
do I have words to speak
