We're glad that we belong to you

Author: Tom Colvin Hymnal: LUW1997 #31 (1997) Lyrics: 1 We're glad that we belong to you O God of all who live. Unite us as we worship you, and heartfelt praises give. 2 Great miracles you still perform, your way of life is clear. We'll tell the world what you have done and to your love we'll swear. 3 We'll worship you and give you thanks, we'll come to you for aid. We know that we can trust you, God, and need not be afraid. 4 You'll keep your covenant with us, your promises are sure. We're glad that we belong to one whose friendship will endure. 5 So help us be what we should be, and do what we should do, as living images of Christ, belonging, God, to you. 6 We're glad that we belong to you, O God of all who live. United as we worship you, our heartfelt praise we give. Topics: Songs of Transformation Scripture: Psalm 105 Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER OLD

We may choose to walk

Author: Tom Colvin Hymnal: LUW1997 #33 (1997) First Line: We may choose to walk through this world alone Refrain First Line: Free to serve, we're free to serve Lyrics: 1 We may choose to walk through this world alone, seeking wealth or power, disdaining everyone. If some neighbors fall by the way or cry we may cross the road so that we pass them by. Refrain: Free to serve, we're free to serve, Christ has set us free to serve. Free to serve, we're free to serve, all in Christ are free to serve. 2 But that selfish choice leads to slavery, life is full of fear and light we cannot see. Christ has set us free, Christ has shown the way, loving, serving others brings us liberty. [Refrain] 3 Every neighbor see as a friend to love, every child in need should be a Christ to serve, for our unity in society is achieved by love, the love that sets us free.

Help us, Christ, to be peace-makers

Author: Tom Colvin Hymnal: LUW1997 #34 (1997) Lyrics: 1 Help us, Christ, to be peace-makers, rooted in your love and life, bringing captives hopes of freedom, peace with justice ending strife. 2 All these walls of class and race are built of pride and selfishness; violence follows exploitation, war erupts from fearfulness. 3 "Care for friends, ignore the others" worldly wisdom seems to say. Loving foes and friends as neighbors is our costly, Christlike way. 4 We are stronger than our captors, free are we but pris'ners they. Though they count us now as nothing, love through Christ will win the day. 5 May we walk with you, dear Yesu, heeding neither wound nor loss, seeking justice for our neighbor, finding freedom through your Cross.

If it's peace you long for, friends

Author: Tom Colvin Hymnal: LUW1997 #35 (1997) Lyrics: 1 If it's peace you long for, friends, yet it still eludes you, true peace seek now from Yesu. 2 Lay your burdens at Christ's feet, fear and shame confessing, for Yesu is forgiving. 3 Standing by the powerless, justice for them seeking comes first in real peace-making. 4 Wars without and fears within, evil powers oppressing, will be o'ercome by loving. 5 Courage, friends, if loving meets fury set against you, for so it was with Yesu. 6 Gaining peace from making peace, self submerged in giving, will show our God is living. 7 Now walk free with head held high, let love liberate you, for peace is life in Yesu.
