In Christ we can be a family that knows no place no time.
In Christ there is no border, class or kind.
In Christ there is a fortress the world can not assault.
In Christ suffering holds no shame and sin can loose its sting.
In Christ there is the finer mind,
And instinct true to lead us through refining fires.
In Christ there is no desert and no death.
