WE TRUST GOD.
GOD SUMMON US BECOME CHURCH[, CHRIST HIS-lf BODY].

WE SHOULD LOVE AND SERVE OTHERS.
WE SHOULD SEARCH-FOR JUSTICE AND RESIST EVIL.
WE SHOULD ANNOUNCE JESUS CRUCIFIED AND ROSE, OUR JUDGE AND OUR HOPE.
DURING LIFE, DURING DEATH, DURING LIFE AFTER DEATH,
GOD GO-WITH US
WE ALONE NOT.

Lyrics: This has been modified by the Methodist Church (perhaps others) as indicated by the words in the square brackets [].
We believe in God who has created and is creating
Who has come in the true person, Jesus, to reconcile and to make new, who works in us and others by the Spirit.
We trust [in] God.
God calls us to be the [C]church, [the Body of Christ].
To celebrate Christ’s presence.
To love and serve others.
To seek justice and resist evil.
To proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen, our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
God is with us.
We are not alone.
Thanks be to God.
