Singing Our Faith ~ Come, Sweet Justice
The world is hungry for justice,
God’s word will point the way.
The One who came to speak the truth,
to challenge those who say:
that we need not care for strangers, the sick,
the lost, the poor, the voiceless ones,
the outcast, the honored guests of God.
Chorus
O come, O come sweet justice, come.
O come, O come sweet justice, come.
When will we learn how to see them,
each one a child of God?
When will our voices raise for them,
to demand their stories heard?
Do we wait until all hope is gone,
their songs to die away?
With passion we must rise up -
Risk in the name of God.
Chorus
O come, O come sweet justice, come.
O come, O come sweet justice, come.
