we are declared children

we are declared children,
living stones, a priesthood,
our identity is declared
in holy scripture
by the gift of grace,
our salvation in Christ…
 
we are brought into God’s family,
we are joined at the cross
our identity is declared
nothing we have earned
only what God has done,
our salvation in Christ…
