Let It Be So With Your Church

Lyrics

Verse 1:
As our Jesus in love touched the leper
Offered grace when they’d cast a stone
As he ate with the outcasts and sinners        
With his church, let it be so 

Verse 2:
As he preached the good news of the kingdom
As he healed them both body and soul
As he gave up his life for God’s children
With his church, let it be so

Chorus:
Let it be so with your church, O God
We are your hands and feet
As Jesus bent low to serve in love
So with us let it be
So with us let it be

Verse 3:
Let us go with our Lord to the margins
To the broken, the poor and the lost
By His Spirit, we’ll push back the darkness
Let his church take up her cross 

Chorus

Bridge:
Come help us, Lord Jesus
To love as you loved (Oh, let it be so)
We remember your gospel
How you first loved us (Oh, let it be so)

To seek justice, love mercy
And care for the weak (Oh, let it be so)
To live now in light of
The kingdom we seek (Oh, let it be so)

Chorus

Be on the Lookout

Lyrics

Chorus:
Lift up your head
Be on the lookout
Wake from your bed
Don’t fall asleep

Lift up your head
He’s comin’ soon now
Get yourself ready
For the comin’ of the King

Verse 1:
Could a mother forget her children
Could a husband forget his wife?
How much more then, will he remember,
Will He come and set things right!

Chorus

Verse 2:
Cast aside all the works of darkness
Live as children of the day
Light your lamps and keep them burnin’
Till we see our bridegroom’s face

Chorus

Verse 3:
See those fields, they’re ripe for harvest
See the work that’s left undone
Take to the world his love and justice
Singin’ “let his kingdom come!”
Oh let his kingdom come!
