"Let Us Be You"

I heard this song for the first time last night at the Pepperdine Lectures. I thought it was worth posting the lyrics as they relate a theme not often enough expressed in our church music.

"Let Us Be You"
Words and Music by
Clarissa Cox and Michael Lusk

Live in our hearts, fill this body.
Stir our spirits, help us serve!
Walk with our feet to the hurting.
Let us be You, revive Your church!
Let us be You on this earth.

Let us be You when a wounded soul cries out for hope,
Let us be You when the lonely need to know they're not alone
Just as Your stars pierce through the night
Let us forever shine Your light!
Let us be You, let us be You on this earth.

Reach with our hands, touch this city.
Lord, let our mouths speak Your truth!
Use our blessings to bring justice.
Let us be You, revive Your church!
Let us be You, on this earth.
