Lyrics:
Human minds just can’t imagine all that God can bring to bear
Through our small and separate beings, even when we join to share
Still we follow where Christ leads us, many pieces of one whole
That we might allow our dreaming to transform our broken world
God, expand our dreams and vision when we think our gifts too small
Help us trust your great provision and to answer when you call
You who gave us time and talents will uphold and see us through
As we join together in the work you’ve given us to do
Like the grains of wheat are gathered from the vast and rolling fields
Like the grapes from viny branches whose small fruit the wine will yield
We re-member as one body, each of us a crucial part
In the global church professing: we belong to God’s own heart
