Leftover People in Leftover Places

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #275 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Topics: Injustice Lyrics: 1 Leftover people in leftover places, troubled, disabled, the needy and sad, scavenging crumbs from society's plenty, sick to the soul when their life has gone bad; these are the ones in God's upside-down kingdom deemed to be worthy and called to the feast, soup-kitchen people invited to banquet, valued as greatly as royal and priest. 2 Leftover people, disposable people, locked into prisons of drugs and despair, poverty's children in poverty's spiral, locked out of learning and earning their share; these are the ones in God's upside-down kingdom, these are the Christ in their shabby disguise, these are the least and the highly unlikely, given a hope and new light in their eyes. 3 Here is God's testing of true Easter people, spirited people with service to give, taking to heart the compassion of Jesus, feeling how others must struggle to live; we are a part of God's upside-down kingdom, we know the heart if the gospel's demand, taking our part with the leftover people, widening the space of the lines in the sand.

God Is Still Speaking

Author: Barbara Hamm, 1943- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #282 (2013) Meter: 11.12.12.12 Topics: Injustice First Line: God is still speaking when children beg for bread Lyrics: 1 God is still speaking when children beg for bread, roaming through city streets, their innocence long dead. How can we close our eyes, complacent in our greed? God, move our hearts of stone to serve a world in need. 2 God is still speaking when exiles cry in pain, forced from their homelands or enslaved for others' gain. How can we leave them to endure the wounds of hate? God, use our broken hearts, a new world to create. 3 God is still speaking when people pray for peace, seeing, through eyes of faith, the day when war will cease. How can we cling to hate as God's name we confess? God, let our hearts be changed by love, the world to bless. Languages: English Tune Title: BRANDON
