Tune Waly Waly or Celebration Hymnal 399 Common Praise 129 ( When I survey the wondrous cross) or H&P 594 – Song: An Upper Room did our Lord prepare
Note: As in many folk songs the words need to be sung freely! (midi file of tune . Waly Waly on Wikipedia)
- 1. The earth is crying out for love;
The love of those who seek the way
To bring forth justice, peace and joy
Into the hearts of all today. - 2. Entwining circles, life and death,
Join us with sea and earth and sky.
Beast, fishes, birds are one with us.
In hurting one we hurt all life. - 3. What can we do to turn the tide;
To help create a fairer world?
To stop pollution and abuse?
To sow the seeds of life not death?
| - 4. We may feel down, we may despair.
The part we play may seem so small.
How can we hope with just one loaf
To meet the future needs of all? - 5. Let us remember as we sing,
When given up to bless and share,
Five barley loaves and two small fish,
Fed thousands with enough to spare. - 6. So we believe, Creator God,
We make a difference when we say
Like that young boy with two small fish,
” Here, take and share my gifts today.”
|
| - 7.Then justice, peace and joy will reign,
When we join hearts and hands as one
And play our part, however small
And pray as one, Thy Kingdom come.
