So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God...

“Let Us Give Praise to the God of Creation” Community of Christ Sings 607

Let us give praise to the God of creation,
Lord of all history and source of all power,
calling us now to the world’s restoration;
granting us strength for the needs of this hour.

Persons are agents by God’s gracious willing,
blessed with assurance of ultimate worth.
Power is within us for history’s fulfilling,
stewards of all the resources of earth.

All things are sacred, for use with thanksgiving,
boundless resources for each to employ;
strength for the body and soul’s fuller living;
Spirit and element bonded in joy.

Giftedness flows from the fount of creation;
truth from all sources demands discipline;
women and men sharing skill’s dedication,
bearing the burdens of sorrow and sin.

Now let the saints hail so rich a foundation,
forged in our heritage, living today.
God who persists in the promised salvation
goes on before us and shows us the way.
