Christ Lives Again (YC No 186)

The risen Christ is here if we have eyes to see;

When unannounced he comes, sometimes surprisingly;

He’s open to

An earthly view

When human love is born anew.

When sharing with the crushed, those trapped in misery

We bring a gentleness, a comfort ministry;

And when we do

Christ lives anew

In human love – in me and you.

When laws support the poor and sponsor equity,

When pow’r is exercised to foster harmony;

Yes!  That is when

Christ lives again,

And joyfully we sing, Amen.

When nature does its worst, we search quite frantic’ly

For injured and the lost; we spend love’s currency;

And as we strive

There is that drive

In human love - Christ is alive!

When love is lived today and lived repeatedly,

When love is born of love and not cold piety,

Christ lives once more;

He is the core

Of human love.  We stand in awe.
