Take our hearts and make them thine
Take our work and our anxiety
Give us life and liberty.
Change this bread into your Body

Change our lives, make us united, Lord,
to spread the love of Christ, the Lord.

Lyrics
Lord, accept this bread and wineTake our hearts and make them thine
Take our work and our anxiety
Give us life and liberty.
Change this bread into your Body
and this wine into your Blood;
Change our lives, make us united, Lord,
to spread the love of Christ, the Lord.
