Lyrics:
One Family in Christ
By Lewis and Lilly River

Father, see us here.
We’ve come to answer Your call.
Bearing a message from heaven for them, “Be reconciled to God.”
Yet, we’re not sufficient; we’re only jars of clay.
So, how can we pour out the fragrance of You in this place?
And we feel so little now. Work through us somehow.

Help us to be the image of Christ shining Your light into their lives,
That they might see a Father who cares, a love that can cast out all of their fears,
That You might be Lord of their lives, the joy in their hearts, the light in their eyes,
That they might be our family in Christ.

See them live in fear,
Walking without a light,
Holding to forms that they don’t understand and nothing satisfies.
Let them seek Your face, and may they come to find
The Way, the Truth and the Life is not far from their side.
‘Cause the need to know You now. So work in them somehow.

Help us to be the image of Christ shining Your light into their lives,
That they might see a Father who cares, a love that can cast out all of their fears,
That You might be Lord of their lives, the joy in their hearts, the light in their eyes,
That they might be our family in Christ.

We long for the day when we’ll stand by their side at Your throne before Your face.
As brothers and sisters, we’ll cry, “You are worthy, for You have made us, and You have saved.”
And we’ll be one family for all eternity.

Help us to be the image of Christ shining Your light into their lives,
That they might see a Father who cares, a love that can cast out all of their fears.
Help us to be the image of Christ shining Your light into their lives.
That they might see a Father who cares, a love that can cast out all of their fears,
That You might be Lord of their lives, the joy in their hearts, the light in their eyes
That they might be, that we might be, one family in Christ.
