Gentle God, When We Are Driven
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Voices Together #150 (2020) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Gentle God, when we are driven
past the limits of our love,
when our hurt would have a weapon
and the hawk destroy the dove,
at the cost of seeming weak,
help us turn the other cheek.
2 Gentle Spirit, when our reason
clouds in anger, twists in fear,
when we strike instead of soothing,
when we bruise and sting and smear,
cool our burning, take our pain,
bring us to ourselves again.
3 In the mirror of earth’s madness
let us see our ravaged face,
in the turmoil of all people
let compassion find a place,
touch our hearts to make amends,
see our enemies as friends.
4 Let our strength be in forgiving
as forgiven we must be,
one to one in costly loving,
finding trust and growing free,
gentle God, be our release,
gentle Spirit, teach us peace. Topics: Anger; Anger; Forgiveness; Forgiveness From God; Justice Economic; Nonviolence; Peace and Justice; Peace Conflict and War; Peace Interpersonal; Reconciliation; Sermon on the Mount Scripture: Isaiah 50:4-9 Tune Title: TAWA
