God of freedom, God of justice
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of freedom, God of justice,
God whose love is strong as death,
God who saw the dark of prison,
God who knew the price of faith:
touch our world of sad oppression
with your Spirit's healing breath.
2 Rid the earth of torture's terror,
God whose hands were nailed to wood;
hear the cries of pain and protest,
God who shed the tears and blood;
move in us the power of pity,
restless for the common good.
3 Make in us a captive conscience
quick to hear, to act, to plead;
make us truly sisters, brothers
of whatever race or creed:
teach us to be fully human,
open to each other's need. Topics: Compassion; Freedom; Healing; Intercession of the Church; International Affairs; Jesus Christ Humanity; Justice; Martyrs; Ministry of God's People; Mission/Sending; Our Love to Others; Unity of Humanity Scripture: 1 John 3:14-17 Used With Tune: TREDEGAR
