LET THE MIND OF CHRIST BE IN US
Don Fortner
(Tune:
Brethren, We Have Met To Worship
#15 87.87D)
Let us live and work together
In the
bonds of love and peace;
Walking
worthy of our calling,
Let all
strife between us cease.
Children
of one holy Father,
All
redeemed by Jesus' blood,
Let us
never grieve the Spirit,
Or
dishonor our great God.
Foes on
every side beset us,
Satan
seeking to devour,
Let us
help each other homeward -
Give no
place to satan's power.
We're
constrained by love and mercy
Each to
bear his brother's load.
And
encourage one another,
For the
glory of our Lord.
When we think of how our Father
Forgave
us, and does forgive,
We
should learn to love each other
And
each other's faults forgive.
Let the
mind of Christ be in us,
(Full
of love, from envy free!)
If we
each preferred the other,
Oh, how useful we might be!
