At the Diocesan Lauch of THIS IS OUR FAITH in St Columba’s Cathedral in Oban, the Congregation sang a new hymn (of the same title) composed for the occasion by Peter Rose and Anne Conlon.  It beatifully expresses something of each of the 8 Strands of Faith (see below).  For more information on how to purchase music and song text, go to www.roseconlonmusic.co.uk

This is our faith, our firm belief.
You give us strength to trust you more and more.
You give us peace. You give us joy.
In love, we choose to worship and adore.

The glory of the stars, the beauty of the earth,
These wonders were created by your hand.
The wisdom of our minds, the love within our hearts,
Your gifts to help us understand.

This is our faith, our firm belief . . .
           
Your Spirit in our lives will lead us to the truth
If we accept the hope your promise gives.
Your own beloved Son, who walked upon the earth,
Has died, but rose again and lives.

This is our faith, our firm belief . . .

O living, risen Lord, still present in the world,
We meet you in the form of bread and wine.
And when we hear your word, you speak to us with love;
We share your risen life divine.

This is our faith, our firm belief . . .

And when we lift our thoughts in gratitude and praise,
Our hearts will come to know you as our friend.
As witnesses of love, we share your work on earth
To build your kingdom without end.

This is our faith, our firm belief . . .
