you whose love is strong as death,
you who saw the dark of prison,
you 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,
you whose hands were nailed to wood,
hear the cries of pain and protest,
you 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. Scripture: Song of Solomon 8:6-7 Languages: English Tune Title: RHUDDLAN

suffering with us,
taking our part,

chosen as partners,
midwives of justice,
birthing new systems,

not by your anger
will our world order
change in a day,
but by your people,
fearless and faithful,
small paper lanterns,
lighting the way. [Refrain]

shining and certain
through all our turmoil,
terror, and loss,
bonding us gladly
one to the other,
till our world changes
facing the cross. [Refrain]

Your Love, O God
Author: Anders Frostenson; Fred Kaan Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #71 (1995) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Freedom and Liberation First Line: Your love, O God, is broad like beach and meadow Lyrics: 1 Your love, O God, is broad like beach and meadow,
wide as the wind, and our eternal home.
You leave us free to seek you or reject you,
you give us room to answer "yes" or "no."
2 We long for freedom where our truest being
is given hope and courage to unfold.
We seek in freedom space and scope for dreaming,
and look for ground where trees and plants can grow.
3 But there are walls that keep us all divided;
we fence each other in with hate and war.
Fear is the bricks and mortar of our prison,
our pride of self, the prison coat we wear.
4 O judge us, God, and in your judgment free us,
and set our feet in freedom's open space;
take us as far as your compassion wanders
among the children of the human race. Languages: English Tune Title: VICAR
Your Love, O God
