Give God Our Hands – v3

The call to ministry, to service
to rise from our pews, our comfort
Oh, Give God our hands,
our feet, our voices, our love
to be Christ, the Son,
light burning bright,
overcoming the darkness
ministers to the whole world
reflecting God’s love

In mission to the earth
to the peoples of the world
honoring the Great Commission
the power in those flames, Pentecost,
the Spirit alive within
being the hands of the Creator,
the feet of the apostles,
the voice of righteousness
for all who are in need

For all who suffer injustice
all the sinners, estranged from God
in need of healing, of life reborn
and/o r to be God’s image
for all mankind
so is our call, our calling, deep within each one of us
the stirring of the Spirit
to announce, like John before Him
before the Baptism of Christ

Knowing too, somehow, deep within
that the Day of the Lord
that His Second Coming
the Day of Judgment, of the New Jerusalem,
is drawing nigh, that the Kingdom comes
and is already here
if we give God our hands
and joyfully do His will
out in the world
