Voice I.            We are the Body of Christ!

Voice II:            The hand clapping, toe tapping, heart pumping, mouth tasting, arms embracing,

Voice III:           Justice seeking, hymn singing, love making, bread breaking, risk taking

ALL:                Body of Christ!

Voice I:            Baptized in one Spirit, we are members of one Body,

ALL:                Many and varied in gender, color, sexuality, age, class, and ability, we are member of Christ’s beautiful Body, the Church.

Voice II:            None of us can say to another, “I have no need of you.”

ALL:                For only together can we find wholeness.

Voice III:           None of us can say to another, “I will not care for you.”

ALL;                For we are connected like muscle and bone. If one rejoices, we all rejoice!

Voice I (or All)  Thanks be to God who, in Christ, has made us one!

Optional

ALL:                Let us worship God!
