Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #488 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Teach us, O loving heart of Christ
what only love can say:
'Father, forgive' and still forgive
the blindness of our way.
2 Torn is the world you came to save,
it bleeds from hands and side:
slow is your Church to bear the scars
of suffering love that died.
3 We have not found your way of peace,
though lack of peace is death:
we have not fed with word or bread
the hungry of the earth.
4 Christ in whose hands were thrust the nails,
who yet for us could pray:
forgive the things we have not done,
the words we do not say. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Penitence; Food and Hunger; Forgiveness; Justice and Peace; Suffering Scripture: 1 John 1:9 Languages: English Tune Title: KHANDALLAH
Teach us, O loving heart of Christ
