Lord God, Your love has called us here, As we, by love, for love were made. Your living likeness still we bear Tho' marred, dishonored, disobeyed. We come, with all our heart and mind Your call to hear, Your love to find. We come with self-inflicted pains Of broken trust and chosen wrong, Half-free, half-bound by inner chains, By social forces swept along, By powers and systems close confined, Yet seeking hope for humankind. Lord God, in Christ You call our name, And then receive us as Your own, Not thro' some merit, right, or claim, But by Your gracious love alone. We strain to glimpse Your mercy-seat, And find You kneeling at our feet. Then take the towel, and break the bread, And humble us, and call us friends. Suffer and serve till all are fed And show how grandly love intends To work till all creation sings, To fill all worlds, to crown all things. Lord God, in Christ You set us free Your life to live, Your joy to share. Give us Your Spirit's liberty To turn from guilt and dull despair And offer all that faith can do, While love is making all things new.
