Kindred
(Philemon)
Lyrics:
Verse 1
Almighty Father, grace and peace
You give to us through Jesus Christ
We pray: our faith and love increase
To lend Your aid to all the saints
We once were shackled, slaves to sin
We once were useless to Your cause
But Jesus died to save and win
Convicted traitors through the cross
Chorus
No longer slaves, we’re kindred now
And yoked with Christ, this field we plow
Till every nation, tribe, and tongue
All bow before Your risen Son
Verse 2
Now all our confidence is Christ,
And for His sake we now appeal:
Oh Father, unify Your saints!
Erase division! Mend and heal!
As fellow siblings, help us bear
Each other’s burdens with Your love
As fellow workers, through us share
Your Gospel news to all the world
