Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Worship and Song #3084 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, you hang upon a cross,
a cross the world has made,
while soldiers hammer justice out,
where games of dice are played–
Christe eleison, Christe eleison.
Christe eleison, Christe eleison.
2 O God, our God, the blood flows on
in suffering's dark tide,
in battle zone and market place
our innocence has died–
Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison.
Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison.
3 In private thought, in public stance
we war against your Word,
the law of love is crucified,
the lines of evil blurred–
Christe eleison, Christe eleison.
Christe eleison, Christe eleison.
4 O God, this day confronts us all
who love the world you blessed.
In sorrow and in human shame
we lay these griefs to rest –
Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison.
Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison.
