In God's Service

Strong and sure
the grace that saves us,
life of Christ
for sinners given,
paid in full -
no debt remaining -
sealed on earth
the gift of heaven.

Strong and clear
the call that bids us
share the gospel
of forgiving -
Christ believing,
life receiving,
liberated
wholesome living.

Strong and deep
the love that binds us
first to Christ
then one another,
daily growing
in our knowing,
sharing fellowship
together.

Strong the Spirit
who empowers us,
guides and leads us
ever near,
takes the work of Christ
convincing
and applying it
to all who hear.

To the Father God be glory!
Glory be to God the Son!
Glory to the Spirit given!
Triune God so true and strong!
