Love to the loveless shown,
That they might lovely be.

standing beside
We must go live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken
We must go
Stepping forward
keep us from just singing
Move us into action
We must go
-Tim Hughes, God of Justice
image the words
O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
vast, unmeasured, boundless, free
Rolling as a mighty ocean
in its fullness over me
Underneath me,
all around me,
is the current of Thy love
Leading onward,
leading homeward
to Thy glorious rest above!
-S.Trevor Francis, O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus
i am…
I am one of his disciples
I am one who bears his name
I am one of Satan’s rivals
I am one and I am unashamed
I am orphan made a daughter
I am a harlot made a wife
I’m a poor man called to dinner
I am a stranger recognized
Oh I am the image of a hidden glory
Yes I am danced over died for willingly
Oh I am the keeper of a coming kingdom
and hallelujah I am home to coming King
I am one of his defiers
I am one of his runaways
I have fought him to the wire
And I have cursed him to his face
But I am one who he has pardoned
I am one who knows his grace
Though the world my heart would harden
His love avows to keep it safe
-Miriam Jones, listen here: I am one
the courage to come
Come, ye sinners,
poor and needy,
weak and wounded,
sick and sore.
Jesus ready
stands to save you,
full of pity, love and power.
He is able,
he is able
he is willing,
doubt no more.
He is able,
he is able
he is willing,
doubt no more.
-Joseph Hart, Come, Ye Sinners
tears caught in his palm
After the last plan fails
After the last siren wails
After the last young husband sails off to join the war
After the last “this marriage is over”
After the last young girl’s innocence is stolen
After the last years of silence that won’t let a heart open
There is love
Love, love, love
There is love
And in the end, the end is
Oceans and oceans
Of love and love again
We’ll see how the tears that have fallen
Were caught in the palms
Of the Giver of love and the Lover of all
And we’ll look back on these tears as old tales
-Andrew Peterson, After the Last Tear Falls
deep crying out to deep
All who are thirsty
All who are weak
Just come to the fountain
Dip your heart in the Stream of Life
Let the pain and the sorrow be washed away
In the waves of His mercy
As deep cries out to deep
As deep cries out to deep
– All Who Are Thirsty
farther along
Farther along we’ll know all about it
Farther along we’ll understand why
So, cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
We’ll understand this, all by and by
-Josh Garrels, listen here: Farther Along
laughing prisoners
We have smashed down the doors now,
and the light floods in upon your face;
All your prisoners are laughing,
and your former slaves are giving thanks.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
