For the Love of Others
(We Are the Lord's Hands)

About "For the Love of Others"

This song was composed for a faith community (Fauntleroy Church, UCC) supporting efforts to help end local and global hunger (CropWalk).  

The lyrics "We are the Lord's hands, feet, voice; we are the Body of Christ" become our actions as we work together to help neighbors in need.

The SATB version is accompanied by flute and piano with optional conga.
The flute score is included with the SATB octavo.

The video (top right) was created by Betsy Boyer of True Bearing Productions and is featured on the Fauntleroy Church UCC website.

Lyrics

We are the Lord's hands,
We are the Body of Christ.

We are the Lord's hands.
Helping hands reaching out to nurture and comfort, holding God's love.
We are the Lord's hands, we are the Body of Christ
Doing the work of the Lord.

Faith is a calling to walk the talk,
It's what we do that matters,
It's what we do together that makes this Body work
For the love of others.

We are the Lord's feet.
Feet so grounded in service, walking with purpose, leading the way.
We are the Lord's feet, we are the Body of Christ
Doing the work of the Lord.

Faith is a calling to walk the talk,
It's what we do that matters,
It's what we do together that makes this Body work
For the love of others.

We are the Lord's voice.
Voices singing together, filled with compassion, kindness and love.
We are the Lord's voice, we are the Body of Christ
Doing the work of the Lord.

For the love of others, we are the Body of Christ.

Love.
