We Are One

Here is a new hymn I just finished:

We Are One

(88.88.88 meter w/ 8.7 refrain)



Now by the sacrifice of Christ

Who prayed that all would be made one,

And through the gift of Spirit-life

All enmity is overcome.

Our Father, grantor of such peace,

We give it just as we've received.





refrain

Praise Father, Spirit and the Son.

In and through You, we are one.



United only in disgrace

Until we heard the Spirit's call;

Now gender, culture, tongue and race,

No more divided by our Fall.

Effect of Babel now undone,

Praise Father, Spirit and the Son.





refrain

Praise Father, Spirit and the Son.

In and through You, we are one.



Tradition, class, philosophy,

Economy and pride of place --

All barriers to unity,

Transcended by relentless grace.

Now reconciled, redeemed, restored:

The body of the risen Lord.



refrain

Praise Father, Spirit and the Son.

In and through You, we are one.

Remember you can now listen to the song I printed here a few weeks ago, that several of you helped me out on when I was stuck on one line. It's called "Forgiveness Divine! Like No Other One" and you can hear it on my main page by clicking HERE.
