We are the royal priesthood: women and men.
Let each of us rule boldly with God's love,
reigning with His all-surpassing power,
spilling out His goodness from above.

Let every moment be a priestly moment, 
speaking to a cashier or a server,
recognizing people as important, 
pouring out God's kindness with Christ's fervor.

To every place we go, we bring His peace;
God's reign goes everywhere our bodies travel.
Let us allow His love to rule and fill us;
Holy Spirit, make our fears unravel.
