Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:Chorus:
Transfigure us, O Lord. Transfigure us, O Lord.
Break the chains that bind us;
Speak your healing word, and
Where you lead we’ll follow.

2. Light for those in darkness, the hungry have their fill ...
3. Pardon for the sinner, a shepherd for the sheep ...
4, To the holy city, Jerusalem, you go ...
