mercy and justice,
bread for the hungry,
comfort for the opressed,
a share in the richess
of the worlds resources
for all,
+
mercy and justice,
freedom for the captives
law that grants truth
to see the value of EVERY soul
the ache of hearts,
the tears that fall
+
mercy and justice
sight for the blind,
blinded by wealth,
blinded by pleasure,
blinded by desire,
blinded, may they see
+
mercy and justice
no-one excluded, may
mercy and justice
grow in compsassion
from love...

My dear children, let’s not just talk about love; let’s practice real love. This is the only way we’ll know we’re living truly, living in God’s reality. It’s also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when there is something to it. For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves.
(1 John 3)
This is how we’ve come to understand and experience love: Christ sacrificed his life for us. This is why we ought to live sacrificially, and not just be out for ourselves. If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn a cold shoulder and do nothing, what happens to God’s love? It disappears. And you made it disappear.
(1 John 4)

sometimes our greatest concerns should preach to us, when we fuss over bread baskets in the vestry maybe we should hear Jesus whisper "feed my sheep".... ( just reflecting on some of the conversations I have had today)
