When the Pious Prayers We Make

Author: David S. Goodall Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #114 (1977) Lyrics: 1 When the pious prayers we make are a wall of pride, lest the faithful few awake to the world outside; when a man won't mix with a race which he disapproves, only God descends to make clean the face of the world He loves. 2 Through the bright persuading voice of the lies we read, in the self-deceiving choice of our lust and greed, though the word of man is a mesh that our blindness proves, we have seen the Word of the Lord made flesh in the world He loves. 3 Beat the dust and noisy pain of our town and street; watch Him flinching at the stain of our hands and feet; hang the heart of God upon high though He reigns above-- and then see Him conquering come to die in the world He loves.
