Forth in the Peace of Christ We Go
Journey of Faith: Embracing Christ's Peace and Purpose
Lyrics
Forth in the peace of Christ we go
Departing in the tranquility bestowed by Christ
Christ to the world with joy we bring
Presenting Christ joyfully to the world
Christ in our minds, Christ on our lips,
Christ is in our thoughts and expressed through our words
Christ in our hearts, the world's true King.
Christ resides in our hearts as the rightful ruler of the world
King of our hearts, Christ makes us kings
Christ, the ruler of our hearts, bestows kingship upon us
kingship with him his servants gain
We, as his followers, become kings through association with Christ
with Christ, the Servant-Lord of all,
We serve alongside Christ, the ultimate Servant-Lord
Christ's world we serve, to share Christ's reign.
We serve Christ's world, participating in his reign
Priests of the world, Christ sends us forth
As representatives of Christ, we are sent out
the world of time to consecrate,
To sanctify the temporal world
the world of sin by grace to heal,
To heal the world's sins through Christ's grace
Christ's world in Christ to recreate.
To recreate Christ's world in his image
Prophets of Christ, we hear his Word:
As bearers of Christ's message, we listen to his teachings
he claim our minds, to search his ways
Our minds are claimed by Christ to explore his ways
he claims our lips, to speak his truth
Our words are claimed by Christ to speak his truth
he claims our hearts, to sing his praise.
Our hearts are claimed by Christ to sing his praises
We are his Church, he makes us one:
We constitute his Church, unified by Christ
here is one hearth for all to find
We are a singular place of belonging for all
here is one flock, one Shepherd-King
Under one Shepherd-King, we form one collective
here is one faith, one heart, one mind.
Unified by one faith, heart, and mind
