Servants Of The Gospel

Though we were undeserving,
Christ died to wash us clean.
He bore the Father's anger
while nailed upon the tree.
In darkness and in turmoil,
the judgment fell on Him,
bringing us forgiveness,
that new life might begin.

Chorus:
As servants of the gospel,
Christ's work we carry on,
that through our pray'r and witness
by grace we might win some.
We call on every nation
to turn to Christ the Lord;
Refuge in His mercy
and marvel at His love.

The grave could not contain Him;
From death the Son broke free.
Exalted by His Father
to rule eternally.
And in His grace He calls us
to be His chosen church,
as His holy temple,
His priests to all the Earth.

Marked with His Holy Spirit
and guided by His Word,
Christ gathers us together,
prepares us for good works.
And so with grace apportioned
we serve each other's needs,
sharing in each blessing
and helping in our grief.
