We Are Your People

You’re our Creator, God, and we’re Your creation Thanks for reaching down to us for our sure salvation To offer us Your fellowship of sweet heaven’s jubilation… We’re Your people heading toward Your set glorious transformation. You’re our Potter, God, and we’re Your clay Thanks for designing us according to Your way To shape us up by Your fellowship we can experience everyday… We’re Your people living as vessels of honor while in Your plan we stay. You’re our Master, God, and we’re Your servants Thanks for calling us by Your immutable covenants To include us in Your fellowship along Your reward-grants… We’re Your people laboring with contentment against vanity-wants. You’re our Head, God, and we’re Your body Thanks for cleansing us from sinfulness’ malady To perfect us in Your fellowship with Your truth so sturdy… We’re Your people, waiting for You; and for Your coming, ever ready. You’re our Leader, God, and we’re Your followers Thanks for enabling us to obey You and Your orders To bring us into Your fellowship upward maturity towers… We’re Your people, living by faith, striving to be biblical defenders. You’re our Vine, God, and we’re Your branches Thanks for upholding us steadfastly midst stormy glitches To nurture us with Your fellowship that spiritually enriches… We’re Your people, bearing fruits by Your love, grace and mercy’s touches. You’re our Shepherd, God, and we’re Your sheep Thanks for delivering us out from death-valley’s deep To carry us to Your fellowship where our hearts You safely keep… We’re Your people*, trusting You from the time we awake till we sleep. *Romans 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.
