The next song in my survey of Brian Boniwell’s book People of the Resurrection is “We Are Your People”.
This is most singable and liturgical apt as a gathering song. There are some minor variations in the tune across the verses but they flow naturally from the text so it should be alright for the assembly. There is some “Yoda-speak” in the second verse that I think he gets away with.
A sample of the music is at Apple music and I put up contact details to get the sheet music here.
Refrain
We are the people who follow your word,
We are your people Lord.
We are the people who follow your word,
We are your people Lord.
1
We are your people, chosen by you.
Called to be holy, called to be true.
Gifted and graced by the Spirit of God,
We are your people Lord.
2
Broken your body, poured out your blood.
Love given freely, given for all.
Gathered to praise you to share in your life,
We are your people Lord.
3
Life in the Spirit, Life in the Son.
Poured out in Jesus upon every one.
Cover us gently O Spirit of God,
We are your people Lord.
