Texts
On The Foundation Of The Apostles
Words: Ephesians 2:19-21 & 3:20,21
Music: Paul Halley (1952-)
Now you are no longer strangers and aliens, you belong to God's household.
You are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.
Christ is building you into a place where God dwells through the Holy Spirit,
in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
Glory to God whose power working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.
Glory to God from generation to generation, in the Church and in Christ Jesus, for ever and ever
Glory to God.
