Send Us Forth

1. We gather as Holy Church, Proclaiming your Holy Word,
   Challenged anew  by the Gospel, Empower us daily to work
   for the kingdom, With all who hope in your promise.


Refrain:

   Send us forth/May we be your compassion and mercy. To each
   person oppressed/By injustice and need. May our lives, be
   a blessings and light to the nations, A sign of the reign of God.


2. We break the bread of life, and share the saving cup, we know
   the gift of the spirit. Now may we be servants to our sisters
   and brothers. who long for a place at life’s table.

3. Our flesh, your dwelling place, Our touch, your healing grace,
   Our struggles, the work of your Spirit. So may we be builders
   of the new creation, So may we be faithful disciples.
