| We praise you, God of all creation, and bow before you, Holy One! We clap our hands in celebration for all the wonders you have done. Yet as we sing with merry voices, and play our instruments with glee, we know you mourn our selfish choices, weep at our hypocrisy. When pious prayers, pretentious giving, and faithful vows that we declare do not result in faithful living or in a willingness to share, then silence all our noisy singing and let our psalms and praises cease, until we come before you bringing gifts of justice, love, and peace. Let judgment roll down like pure waters, and righteousness flow like a stream restoring us as sons and daughters, empowering us to live your dream, a dream of people with a vision that peace and justice will prevail, of people faithful to their mission, trusting love will never fail. | The Song Lingers On: new hymns for our journey of faith #7 (2003) |
