THE CHURCH

We are the Church Alive

I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. : Revelation 3:8

1. We are the Church Alive, Christ’s presence on this earth;
   We give God’s Spirit body in the act of our new birth.
   As yielded open channels for God’s descending dove,
   We shout and sing, with joy we bring God’s all inclusive love.

2. We are the Church Alive, our faith has set us free;
   No more enslaved by guilt and shame, we live our liberty!
   We follow Christ’s example and freedom now proclaim,
   Destroying myths of doubt and fear in Jesus’ mighty name.

3. We are the Church Alive, the body must be healed;
   Where strife has bruised and battered us, God’s wholeness is revealed.
   Our mission is an urgent one; in strength and health let’s stand,
   So that our witness to God’s light will shine across the land.

4. We are the Church Alive, all praise to God on high.
   Creator, Savior, Comforter! We laud and magnify
   Your name, Almighty God of love; pray, give us life that we
   May be your Church, the Church Alive, for all eternity.
