we are declared children – v2

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