In An Age Of Twisted Values | Martin E. Leckebusch


This is a song that we sing tonight at Jubilization. Really touching lyrics. May this always be our prayer.

In an age of twisted values
We have lost the truth we need
In sophisticated language
We have justified our greed
By our struggle for possessions
We have robbed the poor and weak
Hear our cry and heal our nation
Your forgiveness, Lord, we seek

We have built discrimination
On our prejudice and fear
Hatred swiftly turns to cruelty
If we hold resentments dear
For communities divided
By walls of class and race
Hear our cry and heal our nation
Show us, Lord, your love and grace

When our families are broken
When our homes are full of strife
When our children are bewildered
When they lose their way in life
When we fail to give the aged
All the care we know they need
Hear our cry and heal our nation
Help us show more love, we plead

We who hear your word so often
Choose so rarely to obey
Turn us from our willful blindness
Give us truth to light our way
In the power of your Spirit
Come to cleanse us, make us new
Hear our cry and heal our nation
Till our nation honours you.
