The Kingdom We Inherited

Verse 1

The kingdom we inherited is not a worldly one, The realm of Christ is everywhere God's loving work is done. His legacy is service to the least of humankind: In each needy face, he said, his own face we will find.

Verse 2

A piece of bread, a saving cup of water in his name, a welcome to a stranger, the healing of the lame, warm clothing for a naked one, a visit to the bound: in each simple act of love the loving Christ is found.

Verse 3

The kingdom we inherited is not a worldly one, The realm of Christ is everywhere God's loving work is done. Pray bless us, God, as heirs of Love, that what we do and say may reflect the face of Christ to all we meet today.
