Making Holy Dreams Come True
What have they done to the “Little Town”?
Imprisoned it in a concrete wall
Bethlehem – once a holy city
Trapped inside a ghetto wall.
Here where angels sang of peace
Where love and hope were born anew
Once surrounded by a heavenly host
Now surrounded by a concrete view.
Yet people crushed and hidden away
Still celebrate on Christmas Eve
Lighting candles for the child –
They still remember – still believe.
So light a candle this Holy Night
For Bethlehem and Beit Sahour
And for all the people caught inside
That cold and grey prison wall
Longing for a world of peace
Where all are treated equally
Where all can recognise their worth
Where all can live with dignity –
Where all can join hands with neighbours
Whether Muslim, Christian or Jew
And find a way to live together
Making Holy dreams
Making Holy dreams come true.
To the God whose name is Mercy

A song for today
From the album My Name Is Palestine
Chorus Inspired by words of Pope Francis
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 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

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.
