I Am Standing Waiting

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Poverty First Line: I am standing waiting, waiting at your door Lyrics: 1 I am standing waiting, waiting at your door, one of hunger's children from a billion poor, though you cannot see me, though I am so small— listen to my crying, crying for us all. 2 I stand at your table asking to be fed, holding up my rice bowl, begging for your bread, I stand at your schoolroom longing just to learn, hoping that you'll teach me ways to live and earn. 3 I stand at hour clinic begging for vaccine, I stand at your wash place where the water's clean, I stand at your office, beg the heads of state, I am just a child, so I must hope and wait. 4 I stand in your churches, listen to your prayers, long to know a God who understands and cares. If there is a God, a God who loves the poor, I'm still standing waiting, waiting at your door. Scripture: Matthew 25:31-36 Used With Tune: AU CLAIR DE LA LUNE

Tomorrow Christ is coming

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Poverty Lyrics: 1 Tomorrow Christ is coming as yesterday he came; a child is born this moment, we do not know its name. The world is full of darkness, again there is no room; the symbols of existence are stable, cross and tomb. 2 Tomorrow will be Christmas, the feast of love divine, but for the nameless millions the star will never shine. Still is the census taken with people on the move; new infants born in stables are crying out for love. 3 There will be no tomorrows for many a baby born; Good Friday falls on Christmas when life is sown as corn. But Jesus Christ is risen and comes again in bread to still our deepest hunger and raise us from the dead. 4 Our God becomes incarnate in every human birth. Created in God's image, we must make peace on earth. God will fulfil Love's purpose and this shall be the sign: e shall find Christ among us as woman, child, or man. Used With Tune: LITTLE BADDOW
Tomorrow Christ is coming
