Lyrics:

Refrain: We are companions on the journey
breaking bread and sharing life:
and the love we bear is the hope we share,
for ||: we believe in the love of our God. :||

1. No longer strangers to each other;
no longer strangers in God’s house.
We are fed and we are nourished
||: by the strength of those who care. :||

2. We have been gifted with each other,
and we are called by the Word of the Lord:
to act with justice, to love tenderly,
and ||: to walk humbly with our God. :||

3. We will seek and we shall find;
we will knock and the door will be opened;
we will ask and it shall be given,
for ||: we believe in the love of our God. :||

4. We are made for the glory of our God,
for service in the name of Jesus;
to walk side by side with hope in our hearts,
for ||: we believe in the love of our God. :||
