We rise to respond - with common accord - confronted by him who gives us his Word. His truth is for doing, by him we are moved and called to interpret the meaning of love. He calls us to build a city on earth, where love will surround each person from birth. He calls us and sends us to be of mankind, to share with the living his bread and his wine. Then let us accept the terms of our brief: to work and to love and give of our life, that, newly committed to Christ and his ways, our life may be worship and practical praise. * alternative verse We rise to translate our praise into deed; prepared to go out, we follow God's lead. From Sunday to Monday the challenge remains: when worship is over, the service begins.
