Community of Christ,

Verse 1:
Em    C      B
Community of Christ,
Am            D7        G
who make the Cross your own,
D    G        Em7       D         G   Am7  G   D7 G
live out your creed and risk your life for God alone:
            Em    E7   Am
the God who wears your face,
B7 Em                  B7
to whom all worlds belong,
      Em       C      B     Am       Em B7 Em
whose children are of every race and every song.

Verse 2:
Em    C      B
Community of Christ,
Am            D7        G
look past the Church's door
D   G       Em7   D  G  Am7      G   D7  G
and see the refugee, the hungry, and the poor.
                Em  E7 Am
Take hands with the oppressed,
B7  Em               B7
the jobless in your street,
     Em        C      B        Am        Em    B7    Em
take towel and water, that you wash your neighbour's feet.

Verse 3:
Em    C      B
Community of Christ,
Am               D7        G
through whom the word must sound
D   G       Em7     D       G     Am7 G     D7    G
cry out for justice and for peace the whole world round:
           Em     E7   Am
disarm the powers that war
B7  Em           B7
and all that can destroy,
     Em       C          B        Am     Em  B7 Em
turn bombs to bread, and tears of anguish in-to joy.

Verse 4:
Em          C      B
When menace melts away,
Am              D7     G
so shall God's will be done,
D   G       Em7    D        G     Am7 G      D7  G
the climate of the world be peace and Christ its Sun;
          Em E7 Am
our currency be love
B7  Em             B7
and kindliness our law,
     Em      C         B        Am      Em B7 Em
our food and faith be shared as one for ever  more
