To God we come and lift our voices high;
children of hope, we sing his majesty!
Called to be faithful to the Lord of life
- to change the world, one person at a time.
In faith we build communities of Grace;
hold broken lives for God’s love to retrace.
Ours are the faces and the feet he’ll use
to change the world, one person at a time.
Our lives become a song of hope for all:
'Jesus is Lord' is now our clarion call!
God’s chosen people take it to the streets
to change the world, one person at a time.
Open the doors, let none be left inside:
send us to share with all who fear the light.
Praise God who calls his Church to dare to go
and change the world, one person at a time.
