Let It Be So With Your Church has just been released by Caroline Cobb.
It may not be a song that every church could sing, but it represents a lyric that every church should live out.
The lyrics
1
As our Jesus in love touched the leper
Offered grace when they’d cast a stone
As he ate with the outcasts and sinners
With His church let it be so
2
As He preached the good news of the kingdom
As He healed them both body and soul
As He gave up His life for God’s children
With His church let it be so
Chorus
Let it be so with Your church oh God
We are Your hands and feet
As Jesus bent low to serve in love
So with us let it be
So with us let it be
3
Let us go with our Lord to the margins
To the broken the poor and the lost
By His Spirit we’ll push back the darkness
Let His church take up her cross
Bridge
Come help us Lord Jesus to love as You loved
Oh let it be so
We remember Your gospel how You first loved us
Oh let it be so
To seek justice love mercy and care for the weak
Oh let it be so
To live now in light of the kingdom we seek
Oh let it be so
