When the Pious Prayers We Make
Author: David S. Goodall Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 When the pious prayers we make
are a wall of pride,
lest the faithful few awake
to the world outside;
when a man won't mix with a race
which he disapproves,
only God descends to make clean the face
of the world He loves.
2 Through the bright persuading voice
of the lies we read,
in the self-deceiving choice
of our lust and greed,
though the word of man is a mesh
that our blindness proves,
we have seen the Word of the Lord made flesh
in the world He loves.
3 Beat the dust and noisy pain
of our town and street;
watch Him flinching at the stain
of our hands and feet;
hang the heart of God upon high
though He reigns above--
and then see Him conquering come to die
in the world He loves. Topics: The Church Lent; Christian Concern Society and City Used With Tune: PIOUS PRAYERS
When the Pious Prayers We Make
When you started off the universe, Lord most high
Author: John Gregory (b . 1929) Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: God--the Father In whom we trust; Questioning or Doubt Used With Tune: PIOUS PRAYERS
