Lyrics

O Lord my God
I gather with your people in this place
From every corner of the nations we have come
To find our strength together for the race 
And hear the news of what you've done
 
O Lord my God
For the people of my home I've come to stand
To represent how much they need your touch
I know their names; I've seen their eyes, 
I've held their hands
And how I long to give your love
  
All: So renew me, renew me, renew me
By your Spirit, Father renew me
Renew me, renew me, for a new millennium
 
O Lord my God
As I survey the world I am undone
There is so much that your Church must rise to do 
To speak your Good News to the poor 
and loose the bonds
And I have heard this call from you
 
 O Lord my God
As I serve among my neighbors you have shown
How foolishly I draw upon my own strength
And now the poverty I witness is my own
I am yet broken from within
 
Chorus
 
(Descant)
It's only you 
that can renew
My life and the world around me
And as I give 
how I must live 
in the Spirit of life that renews me
 
To heed your call 
I'll daily fall 
on my knees let your Spirit renew me
So all can see
that it's not me
But the Lord who restores and renews me
