A song for today

From the album My Name Is Palestine

Verses influenced by words of US Trappist Monk Thomas Merton

To The God Whose Name Is Mercy

Chorus:

To the God whose name is mercy

To the generous God of mercy

We take our stand with you

So tell the earth to shake with marching feet

Of messengers of peace –

Proclaim my way of love

To every nation and every race –

Show mercy and show love

Chorus

Let old ways be over – no more hate

There shall be no more war

My people shall be one

To every nation and every race –

Show mercy and show love

Chorus

We take our stand with you

Reach out our hand to you

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

And in working to assert the value and dignity of other people

Because this is the calling of your community

This builds relationships and just societies

This brings deep satisfaction

As all are made welcome.

So keep us hungering and thirsting

For the values that make us all whole

And then we know the healing fountains will start.
