I literally just heard this song while listening to the live stream of The Gospel Coalition conference today. I feel these words are very applicable today.
Read. Meditate. Pray.
Christ Eleison, have mercy;
Kyrie Eleison, have mercy,
Christ Eleison, have mercy.
We confess our failures and our sin,
For our words are many yet our deeds have been few;
Fan the fire of compassion once again.
Christ Eleison, have mercy;
Kyrie Eleison, have mercy,
Christ Eleison, have mercy.
And the scars of war refuse to heal;
Will we stand for justice to empower the weak
Till their bonds of oppression are no more?
Christ Eleison, have mercy;
Kyrie Eleison, have mercy,
Christ Eleison, have mercy.
And we love our neighbors as ourselves;
Then this law of love will heal the nations of earth
And the glory of Christ will be revealed.
Christ Eleison, have mercy;
Kyrie Eleison, have mercy,
Christ Eleison, have mercy.
To reach out in mercy to the lost;
For each cup of kindness to the least in our midst
Is an offering of worship to the throne.
Christ Eleison, have mercy;
Kyrie Eleison, have mercy,
Christ Eleison, have mercy.
Kyrie Eleison (Lord Have Mercy)
