Written after being inspired by John Lennon’s song ‘Woman’. It’s not meant to sound anything like him.
Jesus we can never express
The greatness of your power;
But may our living declare
That you alone are Lord.
Come Lord Jesus remake us,
Show God’s power” through our weakness.
Take us, all our hopes and our fears
And in our will your purpose fulfil.
Jesus we are here to confess
Our greed is this world’s bane.
Jesus you offer forgiveness,
That’s what we now claim.
Master, selfless and homeless,
You brought life to the hopeless –
Free us, clear our hearts and our sight
To love and serve in newness of life.
