The Church’s One Foundation
The church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ our Lord;
We are His new creation by water and the Word;
From heaven He came and sought us that we might ever be
His living servant people, by His own death, set free.
O God, in raising Jesus that Resurrection Day,
You showed us You are with us and will not go away.
You give us hope of heaven and life to live in You.
The promise you have given is wonderful and true!
Yet resurrection glory is more than hope You give.
For this amazing story can change the way we live.
O God, in Christ you call us to witness to Your grace —
To share the life You give us in every time and place.
Through Jesus’ resurrection, we find our courage grow
To risk and serve your kingdom, to go where some won’t go.
Through Jesus’ resurrection, we find we’re called to be
A new and hopeful people to all humanity.
