Gather around as we celebrate
the gospel of the risen Christ.
We’re ready to spread
the gospel to those across
the globe and here in Condon.
The Good News of the risen Christ
with its abundance of love is for all
peoples.
We’re not ashamed of the gospel! (1)
It is God’s own power for salvation
to all who have faith in God. (1)
It was shared first with Jesus’ own
people, the Jews,
then the Gentiles, and
then “all the nations”.
God’s righteousness is revealed
through the gospel. (1)
Praise be for the gospel,
which guides us in our
faithfulness and our faith.
Let us worship.
Let us worship the source of
life-giving love!
Praise be to God!
Praise be to the One!
