1 'For you and for many', the promise was spoken,
the cup has been shared and the blood has been shed:
for we have been many, the lost and the broken,
but Christ brings the message of life from the dead.

2 'For you and for many', we tell the same story,
for we have been searched for and found and forgiven.
The world is so many, so starved of the glory:
so few on the earth for the kingdom of heaven!

3 With many or few: God is able to use us
in giving, in going, in staying to pray:
whoever comes to him, he will not refuse us,
so let us cry out for the many today.
