Make Us Your Instruments
By Tams Nicholson

1
O Christ, who heals the blind and lame,
Your mercy breaks through fear and shame;
We praise you for our hearts renewed,
To love all life as You teach us to.

Refrain (optional congregational response):
Creator we hear Your call, Christ we praise you, Come Holy Spirit, we thank You

2
We know the sparrow falling is not lost,
The donkey speaks, there is no cost;
No creature lives outside Your care,
Your boundless mercies are always shared.

Refrain:
Creator we hear Your call, Christ we praise you, Come Holy Spirit, we thank You

3
Lord, help us show others how to be gentle and kind,
In word and deed, in heart and mind;
We await the day when all shine in Your love,
We know the peaceable kingdom future, we know the dove.

Refrain:
Creator we hear Your call, Christ we praise you, Come Holy Spirit, we thank You

4
O Christ, thank you, Your mercy makes us free,
We delight walking in such love and non-violent purity;
Send us to serve, to teach, to bless,
To be Your instruments surrounded by Your holiness.

Refrain:
Creator we hear Your call, Christ we praise you, Come Holy Spirit, we thank You
