Song for Diocese of Algoma 2005
Based on Bishop Ronald Ferris's motto for 2005 from 2 Cor 1
CHORUS:
All the promises of God find their yes in him,
in Christ Jesus his son, yes and amen!
All the promises of God find their yes in him,
in Christ Jesus his son, yes and amen!
1. Our God, who commanded light to shine,
shines in our hearts the wonderful news
that in the face of Christ we can see him.
We can know him, and be renewed.
2. Since we are in Christ, we are new people;
old things are gone, the new has begun.
God has reconciled us to himself
and made us all ambassadors.
3. Since we are the temple where God lives,
in awe of him, we learn to live holy.
And our Shepherd leads us forward with love,
transforming lives, to change our world.
4. The Father of mercies comforts us.
Where we are weak, we lean on his strength.
Though we house his treasure in frail, clay vessels,
He gives us peace and grace to share.
2 Cor 5:17-20, 6:16-17:1, 4:7, 12:9, 1:2-3
