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

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

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.
