Give God Our Hands – v4

Oh, we give God our hands,
out feet, our voices, our love
our bodies emptied, to be filled,
to be Christ, the Son,
ministers to the whole world

Reflecting God’s love
in mission to the earth
being the hands of the Creator,
the feet of the apostles,
the voice of righteousness
for all who are in need

All who suffer injustice
all the sinners, estranged from God
in need of healing, or
be God’s image
for all mankind

So is our calling
to announce, like John before him
that the day of the Lord
is drawing nigh and is already here
if we give God our hands
and we do His will.
