[Intro]
In Christ we are a new creation…
In Christo nova creatura sumus…
We’ve been found in the heart of God…
The Trinity invites us in…
[Verse 1]
In Christ we are a new creation,
In Him we live and move and breathe.
In Christo nova creatura sumus,
In ipso vivimus, movemur, et sumus.
Adopted by the Son of grace,
Drawn to the Father’s heart of love.
Per Filium adoptati,
In sinum Patris recepti.
[Chorus]
We are no longer strangers. We are Yours ! We are Yours!
We are filled with holy fire, Spiritu Sancto repleni !
No longer slaves, but sons and daughters,
Non amplius extranei, sed filii dilecti Dei !
[Verse 2]
Partakers of divine nature,
We’ve been called to glory bright.
Participes naturae divinae,
Vocati ad gloriam et virtutem.
We stand before the throne of grace,
Not in fear, but in delight.
Coram throno gratiae stamus,
Non ut servi, sed ut filii dilecti.
[Bridge]
Oh we are home in You, God…
We are not far off anymore…
Domestici Dei… domestici Dei…
We’ve been brought near, we’ve been brought in
We’ve been brought into Love !
Oh yes, we are Yours forever…
Forever included… forever embraced…
The song moves between English and Latin, giving the Church's older tongue to the same confession. "In Christo nova creatura sumus" is 2 Corinthians 5:17, in Christ a new creation. "In ipso vivimus, movemur, et sumus" is Acts 17:28.
The theme is adoption and belonging. "No longer strangers, no longer slaves, but sons and daughters" is Ephesians 2:19 and Galatians 4:7. "Domestici Dei," members of God's household, is the Latin of Ephesians 2:19. The song insists the person is inside the house, not waiting at the door.
"Partakers of divine nature, participes naturae divinae" is 2 Peter 1:4 — the text the Fathers used to ground deification. The song places it beside adoption on purpose. Sharing God's nature and being adopted as children are the same reality seen from two sides.
"The Trinity invites us in" carries the album's center. Reconciliation is not only sins forgiven. It is being drawn into the life the three persons share. The Latin is not decoration. It ties this worship to the Church across centuries who confessed the same thing. We sing this to say, with the whole Church, that we have been brought in.
