When Aimless Violence Takes Those We Love
Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #512 (1995) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 When aimless violence takes those we love,
when random death strikes childhood's promise down,
when wrenching loss becomes our daily bread,
we know, O God, you leave us not alone.
2 When passing years rob sight and strength and mind
yet fail to still a strongly beating heart,
and grief becomes the fabric of our days,
dear Lord, you do not stand from us apart.
3 Our faith may flicker low, and hope grow dim,
yet you, O God, are with us in our pain;
you grieve with us and for us day by day,
and with us, sharing sorrow, will remain.
4 Because your Child knew agony and loss,
felt desolation, grief, and scorn and shame,
we know you will be with us, come what may,
your loving presence near, always the same. Topics: God's Church Healing and Wholeness; God's Church Healing and Wholeness; Children; God: Presence; Grief; Healing Languages: English Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA
