If there is a God, a God who loves the poor, I'm still standing waiting, waiting at your door. Scripture: Matthew 25:31-36 Used With Tune: AU CLAIR DE LA LUNE

Tomorrow Christ is coming

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Poverty Lyrics: 1 Tomorrow Christ is coming as yesterday he came; a child is born this moment, we do not know its name. The world is full of darkness, again there is no room; the symbols of existence are stable, cross and tomb. 2 Tomorrow will be Christmas, the feast of love divine, but for the nameless millions the star will never shine. Still is the census taken with people on the move; new infants born in stables are crying out for love. 3 There will be no tomorrows for many a baby born; Good Friday falls on Christmas when life is sown as corn. But Jesus Christ is risen and comes again in bread to still our deepest hunger and raise us from the dead. 4 Our God becomes incarnate in every human birth. Created in God's image, we must make peace on earth. God will fulfil Love's purpose and this shall be the sign: e shall find Christ among us as woman, child, or man. Used With Tune: LITTLE BADDOW

God Is Still Speaking

Author: Barbara Hamm, 1943- Meter: 11.12.12.12 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Poverty First Line: God is still speaking when children beg for bread Lyrics: 1 God is still speaking when children beg for bread, roaming through city streets, their innocence long dead. How can we close our eyes, complacent in our greed? God, move our hearts of stone to serve a world in need. 2 God is still speaking when exiles cry in pain, forced from their homelands or enslaved for others' gain. How can we leave them to endure the wounds of hate? God, use our broken hearts, a new world to create. 3 God is still speaking when people pray for peace, seeing, through eyes of faith, the day when war will cease. How can we cling to hate as God's name we confess? God, let our hearts be changed by love, the world to bless. Used With Tune: BRANDON
