Verse 1
Lord, come build your glorious Church,
by your mighty gospel
Telling of the Lord of all
Christ the crucified
He the Lamb who bears our sin
His the power of life within
His the church where praises ring
This, the mighty gospel
Verse 2
Lord, come build your glorious church,
refuge for the broken;
shepherd to the wayward heart,
healing soul and will.
Mercy brought to rebel lives,
truth to break the devil's lies,
peace for every storm of life,
this, the mighty Gospel.
Chorus
Come and shine, O bride of Christ,
lift your eyes to your Saviour;
be adorned by his grace and light,
saved by his mighty gospel.
Verse 3
Lord, come build your glorious Church,
people of the promise;
waiting for that final day,
earth to heaven restored.
Where all hurts can be undone,
pain and sorrow shall be gone,
and only Jesus is our song,
this, the mighty Gospel.
Mid section
Not by might or power he wins,
but by death his love he brings,
gave himself for all our sins,
saved by his mighty gospel.
