Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 10.8.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:24-27 First Line: God weeps at love withheld, at strength misused Lyrics: 1 God weeps at love withheld,
at strength misused,
at children's innocence abused,
and till we change the way we love,
God weeps.
2 God bleeds at anger's fist,
at trust betrayed,
at women battered and afraid,
and till we change the way we win,
God bleeds.
3 God cries at hungry mouths,
at running sores,
at creatures dying without cause,
and till we change the way we care,
God cries.
4 God waits for stones to melt,
for peace to seed,
for hearts to hold each other's need,
and till we understand the Christ,
God waits. Topics: Confession, Lament, and Healing; Abuse; Christian Year Advent; Christian Year Lent; Discernment; Healing; Justice; Lament; National Day of Action; Remembrance Day; Service Music Confession; Violence Used With Tune: DELGADO
