Lyrics: As you go to serve Creation bear the Word of God with you, Word that brings forth light now dwelling in your heart and shining through. Do not merely say the words: become the Word. Embody grace. Be the living Word and give the love of God a human face. To the poor in spirit go, and give them bread for which they long. Nourish them for love and justice. Feed their souls and make them strong. Be the hearty bread that’s taken, blest and broken day by day. Be the bread of love made real, bread that Jesus gives away. Do not try to serve with only your own passion to impart. Let the love of God flow through you from the Source, from Heaven’s Heart. Pass along God’s deep forgiveness, flowing freely from the Lord. Be the wine of God’s great feast, the wine so generously poured. By the Spirit living in you, be the hope you hope to preach; be the peace you long to witness; be the truth you want to teach. Let your living be the Word that words alone cannot convey. Be the Word of love embodied; be the flesh of Christ today. -
