Christ waits!
    Crucified by the pow'rs,
    undefeated, alive,
    Christ waits.
To the worship of force
and the praise of revenge
Christ Jesus teaches peace.
God be praised!

Christ sings!
    In a people reborn,
    reconciling, re-named,
    Christ sings.
In communion feast
and community praise
Christ Jesus makes us one.
God be praised!

Christ comes!
    In the word on the street
    and the word that forgives,
    Christ comes.
At the end of the day,
at the ultimate end,
Christ Jesus lives and leads.
God be praised!
 
            Brian Wren, Christ our Hope
