Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: STF #2048 (2003) Meter: 6.4.8.10 First Line: God weeps at love withheld Lyrics: 1 God weeps at love withheld,
at strength misused,
at children's innocence abused,
and till we change the way we love,
God weeps.
2 God bleeds at anger's fist,
at trust betrayed,
at women battered and afraid,
and till we change the way we win,
God bleeds.
3 God cries at hungry mouths,
at running sores,
at creatures dying without cause,
and till we change the way we care,
God cries.
4 God waits for stones to melt,
for peace to seed,
for hearts to hold each other's need,
and till we understand the Christ,
God waits. Tune Title: HIROSHIMA
God Weeps
