We Are Yours

In the darkness that turned to day
Lord you made us from breath and clay
With thanksgiving and praise we say:
"We are yours"

From our bondage you set us free
To discover our dignity
Made us your own for the world to see
That we are yours

Though our journey's uncertain
Be our life and our way
Be our truth now and show us
Who we are, Lord, we pray

Gather us into your love, O Lord
Make us your people
Take us and hold us
Break us and mold us
In your love, in your love

Send us your spirit O Lord, our God
Make us your own
Seek out and find us
In your love bind us
For we are yours
We are yours

For the triumph of love and grace
You redeemed us from sin's embrace
To you, Lord Jesus, we lift our praise
For we are yours

With your spirit that brings new birth
You enkindle our lives' true worth
Renewing our hearts and all the earth
We are Yours

Though our journey's uncertain
Be our life and our way
Be our truth now and show us
Who we are, Lord we pray

Gather us into your love, O Lord
Make us your people
Take us and hold us
Break us and mold us
In your love, in your love

Send us your spirit, O Lord, our God
Make us your own
Seek out and find us
In your love bind us
For we are yours

When the world lays it claim on our hearts and souls
Remind us of all that is true
That our hearts are yearning and restless
('Til our hearts rest in You)
(Our hearts rest You)
(Our hearts rest in You, rest in You!)

Gather us into your love, O Lord (into your love)
Make us your people (make us your people)
Take us and hold us, break us and mold us
In your love (in your love), in your love

Send us your spirit, O Lord, our God
Make us your own
Seek out and find us
In your love, bind us

For we are yours (we are yours)
We are yours
(We are yours) we are yours
For we are yours, O Lord
O Lord
