Grand occasion (Vol 3 No 82)


Disciples here with Jesus

In solidarity

We now affirm each other

Within our liturgy;

In God we come together;

In God we are as one;

In God we can continue

What Jesus has begun.

 

We voice all our intentions;

We promise to be true

To Jesus and his calling,

His mission to pursue;

We seek his simple wisdom,

His grace and gentleness;

But most of all his passion

For love, inclusiveness.

 

Our world needs deep compassion

For justice, liberty;

It must be called to banish

Corruption, poverty;

As Jesus censured leaders,

We too must be prepared

To stand against the ‘powers’;

Help victims to be spared.

 

This is a grand occasion,

One deeply based in hope;

We come to face the future

With its demanding scope;

We pledge our lives in service,

To follow Jesus’ way;

We pray for vision, purpose

Both now and every day.
