Song Lyrics
[Verse 1] God of freedom, God of justice, You whose love is strong as death, You who saw the dark of prison, You who knew the price of faith\xe2\x80\x94 Touch our world of sad oppression With Your Spirit's healing breath. [Verse 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\xe2\x80\x94 Move in us the pow'r of pity Restless for the common good. [Verse 3] Make in us a captive conscience Quick to hear, to act, to plead; Make us truly sisters, brothers Of whatever race or creed\xe2\x80\x94 Teach us to be fully human, Open to each other's need. [Verse 1] God of freedom, God of justice, You whose love is strong as death, You who saw the dark of prison, You who knew the price of faith\xe2\x80\x94 Touch our world of sad oppression With Your Spirit's healing breath. [Verse 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\xe2\x80\x94 Move in us the pow'r of pity Restless for the common good. [Verse 3] Make in us a captive conscience Quick to hear, to act, to plead; Make us truly sisters, brothers Of whatever race or creed\xe2\x80\x94 Teach us to be fully human, Open to each other's need.
