Written for St Mark’s Primary School, Drummoyne by James Maher msc, No 92 in As One Voice the Next Generation is “Live the Gospel”. It looks a challenge on the page but once you hear it – not so bad – and catchy as all get out for the children. You can see a version from the AOV conference from last year here.
Refrain
Living in faith, we gather in your name.
Living in hope, we learn about our world.
Living in love, we reach out to one another.
With our ears and eyes and hands and lips
and minds and hearts,
we live the gospel! (repeat)
Verse
Open our ears to hear your voice.
Open our eyes to see.
Open our hands to help
and to be all that we can be.
Open our lips to speak kind words.
Open our minds to learn.
Open our hearts to feel your love
and to love you in return.
Refrain
