Gentle God, When We Are Driven

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Voices Together #150 (2020) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Gentle God, when we are driven past the limits of our love, when our hurt would have a weapon and the hawk destroy the dove, at the cost of seeming weak, help us turn the other cheek. 2 Gentle Spirit, when our reason clouds in anger, twists in fear, when we strike instead of soothing, when we bruise and sting and smear, cool our burning, take our pain, bring us to ourselves again. 3 In the mirror of earth’s madness let us see our ravaged face, in the turmoil of all people let compassion find a place, touch our hearts to make amends, see our enemies as friends. 4 Let our strength be in forgiving as forgiven we must be, one to one in costly loving, finding trust and growing free, gentle God, be our release, gentle Spirit, teach us peace. Topics: Anger; Anger; Forgiveness; Forgiveness From God; Justice Economic; Nonviolence; Peace and Justice; Peace Conflict and War; Peace Interpersonal; Reconciliation; Sermon on the Mount Scripture: Isaiah 50:4-9 Tune Title: TAWA
