By the Blood

By the Blood, by the Flesh
By the Spirit, deep in rest
Hear our words, hear our cry
Let us know that You are nigh

Hear our words, hear our plea
Send Your aid to the many

Hear our words, hear our song
Born of Laughter, Lust, and Love

Strengthen whole, strengthen part
Strong of hand and strong of heart
Fleet of foot, fleet of mind
Guide our way that You we find.

When we’re sick, when we rest
Hold us close beside Your breast
When alone, full of fear
Let us know that You are near

By the Flesh, whole and sound,
By the Body, wakened now
By the Blood, pledged in trust
Our love to You who loves us.
