Borrowing from Charles Wesley's hymn of the same name and John Donne's beautiful '15th Holy Sonnet' (I recommend a peek-it rewards several readings) this is my way of saying 'we will follow, we will run, we will shout, we will live.
lyrics
Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
In him God lives with us,
Human mystery,
God for all to see-
Christ who comes to serve.
And we will follow you,
We will follow you!
Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
In him God lives with us.
God our father, mother, one.
Live in us today,
Love so evident
Grace magnificent
Christ who comes to us.
And we will run to you,
We will run to you!
God our father, mother, one.
Live in us today.
Much that we were made like God,
But he like us, far more-
We who he had made,
Evil and good displayed,
Christ who comes to die.
And we will shout to you,
We will shout to you!
Much that we were made like God,
But he like us, far more.
God has made his home on earth,
The Spirit lives in us.
Death shall be no more,
Life forever more,
Christ who came to live.
And we will live with you,
We will live with you!
Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
In him God lives with us.
