One Body, One People

At this point in Michael Mangan’s Setting Hearts on Fire there are three songs for Eucharist.

I have already blogged “Given For You” and “The Bread of Life” so I can move onto “One Body, One People”.

Mangan notes that this song also would work as a gathering song.

One Body, One People
Words & music: Michael Mangan

For we are one body, one people,
Sharing our journey.
For we are one body, one people,
Sharing in Christ.

1 We are as many as the stars.
We are the children of God’s love.
We are the tellers of the story.
Though many we are one.

2 We are the keepers of the dream.
We hold it deep within our hearts.
We are travellers on the journey:
One body, many parts.

3 We are the singers of life’s song.
We are the bearers of the light.
We are living future’s history.
Guide us through the night.

4 We are the sand upon the shore.
Part of time’s eternal tide.
Ebbing, flowing, growing, changing,
Through the seasons of our lives.
