Christ Has Changed the World's Direction
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #356 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.7 First Line: Christ has changed the world's direction! Lyrics: 1 Christ has changed the world's direction!
Christ can change the human heart:
agents of the new creation
mend the people torn part;
so are we charged to be
go-betweens for unity.
2 Peace will be our way of thinking:
common wealth and common state.
Gone the wounds, the words and weapons
that conspire to hurt and hate,
and no power shall devour earth or air
where peace might flower.
3 Debts and doubts will be forgiven,
canceled in the name of God,
olive trees again be planted
there where soldiers' boots have trod,
hunger fed, terror fled,
justice shining in its stead.
4 What have we as commendation,
sent to speak, as speak we must?
Love will be our global language,
hands an enemy can trust,
faith to faith, race with race,
all shall find a meeting place.
5 Envoys of a high commission,
gifts of hope we find to share,
Christ the Spirit reconciling,
Christ our internet of care.
Though we stall, fail or fall,
shall we now refuse God's call?
