DEEP IN THE HUMAN HEART

Deep, deep in the human heart

The fire of justice burns:

A vision of a world renewed

Through radical concerns.

As Christians we are called

To set the captive free,

To overthrow the evil powers

And end hypocrisy.

This, this is our task today:

To build a world of peace,

A world of justice, freedom, truth

Where kindness will increase.

Free, free us from selfishness,

Help us at last to share,

To banish hunger from the earth,

Let every person care.

Give, give us the grace to work

As one community,

To bring new hope and fuller life

To all humanity.

Lord, taking the step of faith,

We leave the past behind

And move into the future's world

With open heart and mind.
