BENEATH THE SOUTHERN CROSS

From the ends of the earth we will sing;
God is here, the Kingdom is near.
Shore to shore across ancient lands.
Christ to dwell, Emmanuel.

From north and south, from east and west,
beneath the Southern Cross we rest.
Found by One who came for all,
in this tale of spacious love we’re born.

From the ends of the earth we will sing;
God is here, the Kingdom is near.
Shore to shore across ancient lands.
Christ to dwell, Emmanuel.

This, the land on which we stand,
this holy ground made by God’s hand,
marred and scarred yet marked by grace,
held and healed, in Christ we find our place.

From the ends of the earth we will sing;
God is here, the Kingdom is near.
Shore to shore across ancient lands.
Christ to dwell, Emmanuel.

God, our hope, our life, our heart,
come break our differences apart.
Strangers once now called as one,
every soul awake to greet this love!

From the ends of the earth we will sing;
God is here, the Kingdom is near.
Shore to shore across ancient lands.
Christ to dwell, Emmanuel.

CALLED TOGETHER

Called together, we’ve taken the dare,
to commit to a destiny shared,
diff’rent, diverse we may be,
but we see God’s plan for history:
a world reconciled and renewed!

This is God’s call, this is God’s way,
that we might show the light of God’s day,
divided world, uniting grace,
we live the signs of Christ in this place.

Called together, this journey we’re on
is the way of the Crucified One.
Justice and love are our song,
with those on the edge, we belong,
declaring God’s love is for all!

This is God’s call, this is God’s way,
that we might show the light of God’s day,
divided world, uniting grace,
we live the signs of Christ in this place.

Pilgrim people, the road is our call,
Spirit led, trav’ling light, risking all.
Paths of the past keep us true,
while fresh words and deeds spring anew
in worship and witness and care!

This is God’s call, this is God’s way,
that we might show the light of God’s day,
divided world, uniting grace,
we live the signs of Christ in this place.

And in God’s hands our future rests,
our hope is there in God’s faithfulness.
We live this gift, this blessed road,
this unity: the household of God!

COME, COME, COME

Come, come, come;
come together.
Holy Spirit make us one.
God, come weave your grace among us.
Life is ours in Christ, God’s Son.

Sharing, God, your life together;
lead us on to places new.
Fill us all with love for Jesus;
sent in mission, sent by you.

Come, come, come;
come together.
Holy Spirit make us one.
God, come weave your grace among us.
Life is ours in Christ, God’s Son.

Call from us deep love for neighbour,
Gift us open minds and hearts.
In your name we’ll serve together;
each one playing their special part.

Come, come, come;
come together.
Holy Spirit make us one.
God, come weave your grace among us.
Life is ours in Christ, God’s Son.

Unity: your call, your longing;
each one blessed to bless anew.
Take our giftings, take our passions;
your holy people, formed in you.

Come, come, come;
come together.
Holy Spirit make us one.
God, come weave your grace among us.
Life is ours in Christ, God’s Son.
Life is ours in Christ, God’s Son.

IN A CHURCH THAT’S MOVING FORWARD

In a church that’s moving forward,
this is where we long to be.
In a church with gifts abounding
and the grace to set them free.
In a church of many cultures
in a church both old and young,
in a church of many accents
when the song of Christ is sung.

With a Lord who leads the mission
for a people on the way,
with a Lord who’s healing blindness
lets the voiceless have their say;
with a Lord of every nation
with a Lord of every place,
with a Lord who shines compassion
on to every tribe and race.

On a road that leads to wholeness
when we’re broken or unsure,
on a road to understanding,
where division finds a cure;
on a road where all may travel
on a road where many roam,
on a road we walk together
as we make our journey home.

JESUS SAYS “GO NOW!”

Jesus says, “Go now!”
And wherever we shall go
He will go before us. (repeat)

Go to the broken, the beaten, the bold,
sing out the story our people have told
into the future and out of the past.
Promises of freedom – and glory that will last.

Jesus says, “Go now!”
And wherever we shall go
He will go before us. (repeat)

Come to the river and gather our tears,
out of the darkness, away from our fears,
over the troubles, confusion and pain.
Promise of forgiveness – a chance to start again.

Jesus says, “Go now!”
And wherever we shall go
He will go before us. (repeat)

Are we the chosen for this day and age?
Will we hear Jesus call out in the rage?
One life is given, a difference to make.
Promise of adventure – and barriers to break.

Jesus says, “Go now!”
And wherever we shall go
He will go before us. (repeat)

Now is the moment and this is the place,
turn from our selfishness, Jesus embrace.
God’s love in action one day at a time.
Promise of fulfilment – a purpose that’s divine.

Jesus says, “Go now!”
And wherever we shall go
He will go before us. (repeat)

STEP BY STEP BY STEP

Step by step by step by step
we tread the path you lay in front of us.
Patiently we wait the moment.
“Now”, you say, with timing consummate.

You know when, for you know best,
our view is small but yours is wonderful.

Time and space to play our part
in your amazing, brilliant spectacle,
intricate and yet expansive,
astoundingly hopeful chronicle.

The creation drama is your
eternal unfolding guarantee.

We will wander lost and lonely
when we choose to travel selfishly.
Blown like leaves in stormy winds
until your Spirit fills our destiny.

Jesus, we labour in vain
to build our lives, unless you’re building them.
