We The Church Lyrics - Singles - News At Eleven

In this place, O Lord, to you we pray 

Tiny room, grand edifice 

Nothing more than shelter is this 

Not of bricks or mortar, wood or clay 

Built of those who live your word 

On the rock of Peter secured 

Refrain: 

We, we are your church 

Conceived in faith, patterned in love 

Drawn to your plan, framed in your spirit 

We the Church of Christ 

Neither Greek nor Jew, not slave nor free 

Woman, man are all the same 

Joined as one with hearts aflame 

Many colors, many races we 

In your eyes, divisions cease 

We the Church, united in peace 

(Refrain) 

At this table Lord, we share your meal 

Finest grain your flesh, our bread 

Finest grapes the blood you shed 

At this banquet we your presence feel 

Now we feast by your decree: 

"Do all this in memory of me" 

(Refrain) 

Pray we now, O Lord, our faults to heal 

Purify us by your breath 

Send to us your life beyond death 

On our heads, your holy spirit seal 

Baptize us into new birth 

Send us forth with light for the earth 

(Refrain)
