Let the healing fountains start
God of the just heart
In the challenging words of the Sermon on the Mount
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice
They shall be satisfied”
You remind us that satisfaction does not lie where we might expect it,
In the security of wealth and privilege,
But in the joy of doing what is right
So may liberation and justice rise
Because this is the calling of your community
This builds relationships and just societies
May equality rise
May apartheid fall
This will bring deep satisfaction as all are made welcome
And as all are treated as made in the image…
So keep us hungering and thirsting
And campaigning
For the values that make us all whole
And then we know the healing fountains will start.

Garth Hewitt writes redemption songs
and then sings them without fear.
His voice comes through clearly,
challenging us by his witness to act for justice. His is a brave voice,
needed more than ever in a fearful world, and in a sometimes timid church.
Please God, it will help us
sing redemption songs of our own.
