Host an evening with Garth in concert

Be part of Garth’s 2018 tour
Against the Grain
Amidst the success of his current tour, Garth has been planning his next tour’s itinerary. Autumn 2017 is almost completely booked out now but there are still some dates available for Spring 2018.
As always the concerts will feature songs that tell stories, especially of different places where Amos Trust is working.
Hosting Garth in your church or venue is a way of bringing themes of truth and justice to the forefront of your community, and of very practically helping people around the world who receive support through Amos Trust projects. It’s fun and we try to make it as straightforward as possible.
For further information contact Garth’s PA, Isobel Webster, at or by phone on 07976 360844.
The Devil’s Moment
When the bombers are flying in the name of peace
With people hungry when they needn’t be
It’s the demon of greed when selfishness wins
It’s the devil’s moment.
When the innocent die because our cause is right
When fear is alive and cuts like a knife
When unfaithfulness wins and mistrust is alive
It’s the devil’s moment.
An aeroplane against a clear blue sky
Fearfully guided by an evil eye
Both sides of the world so many will die
It’s the devil’s moment.
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
When we turn away and pass on by
Though the cock crow we avert our eyes
When we don’t speak up so the truth dies
It’s the devil’s moment.
In Auschwitz or Palestine
Maybe on your street, maybe on mine
From Hiroshima to Rwanda genocide
It’s the devil’s moment.
They say if a butterfly beats its wings on one side of the world
On the other side a hurricane comes
So if we say a lie on one side of the world
What will happen on the other side?
May the words of my mouth – the thoughts of my heart
Be acceptable in your eyes, O God
Or I co-operate with the darker side, and … It’s the devil’s moment.
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
‘Let justice roll on like a river
Truth like a never failing ever flowing stream
Then tears of rage will turn to laughter
And people become what they should be‘
– Garth Hewitt
