We are the singers who celebrate Jesus, we are the cast of a play to unfold, we have a part at the heart of the Gospel, action that speaks as the Story is told, we are God's people, hopeful and joyful, one open circle round Jesus Christ! This is the wonder, that we should be chosen! We, like the earthenware vessels we are, clay in a mold to enfold the great treasure: light of more power than sunburst or star, we are God's people, hopeful and joyful, one open circle round Jesus Christ! We are the travelers set on a voyage, ship that will sail with whoever will board, we who can dream a regime of acceptance, seeking a country of loving accord, we are God's people, hopeful and joyful, one open circle round Jesus Christ! We have a life that is greening and growing, centered on Jesus, the root and the vine, we are a place for each race and each rainbow, household of faith with a pledge of new wine, we are God's people, hopeful and joyful, one open circle round Jesus Christ!
