Lyrics:
Lead on, O God of justice. Your vision calls us forth:
to life where all are cherished, and know their sacred worth,
where all have what they need to be who they can be,
and all know their belonging and live in peace and free.
Lead on, O God of justice, as Jesus shows the way,
and gives to us your Spirit, and guides us day by day.
Your courage and compassion, your love flow through our veins
for those we cast aside, who bear oppression’s chains.
Lead on, O God of justice. Your fiery pillar burn
in us to heal the world, to make injustice turn.
To change our evil systems your Spirit sets us free.
Though long the road and tiring, you bear us faithfully.

It does not cease,but makes you ache(evil the desperate avoidance of the… Continue reading Justice cry

It’s a long road.This is what you do.You’ve worked to get here. Maybe training for a marathon,or working for justice.Maybe parenting.

The vision does not tarry
How long, God, will you tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds. The law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted. There is still a vision for the appointed time. If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come, it… Continue reading The vision does not tarry
