Our constant witness
Daring to dream now
God’s mercy allows
Caring, righteous Lord
Trusting His accord
Patience encouraged
Waiting with courage
Together working
Blessed networking
Humbleness fills life
Removing all strife
Sowing fertile seeds
Harvest’s bread now feeds
Called by Jesus Christ
His blood sacrificed
Glory fills God’s name
Building each life’s frame
