¶Liedtext

God of the Mendi, stolen from their home, Bound, beaten, chained, their futures bought and sold; In fear they rose and claimed their liberty. Great God of ours, you set the captives free. God of the faithful, offering their hands, Building a home and giving of their land; Bound by desire of friendship to impart. Great God of ours, you bind the broken heart. God of the ship that sails again today, Justice and hope are cargo on its way. Caught in the wind, your spirit as its guide. Great God of ours, may you be glorified. God of church, whose work is not yet done; Grant your desire, that we may all be one. In this abode, your covenant we raise, Great God of ours, in righteousness and praise.
