HYMN
In Christ we live and in Christ we die
And in Christ we rise up again.
Let heaven be glad and let earth rejoice
And sing, ‘Alleluia, amen!’
This is God’s house, holy ground for God’s people,
Hallowed by singing and silence and prayer;
Blessed by the presence and power of the Spirit,
Founded on faith in the Saviour we share.
This is the place where the Church is Christ’s body
Meets as a family where all have their place:
Stalwart and stranger, speaker and seeker –
Each needs the others and all need God’s grace.
This is the time when desires and intentions
Find interaction with God’s holy word:
Trouble and treasure, business and pleasure,
All are redeemed and restored by the Lord.
This is the purpose of God in creation:
All shall be changed for the gospel is true –
Illness to healing, coldness to caring,
Doubt to commitment and old into new.
