Deep in the human heart

The fires of justice burn;

With visions of a world renewed

Through radical concern.

As Christians we are called

To set the captives free,

To overthrow the evil powers

And end hypocrisy.

 

This is our task today,

To build a world of peace;

A world of justice, freedom, truth,

Where kindness will increase;

A world from hunger freed,

A world where people share,

Where every person is of worth

And no-one lives in fear.

 

Taking the step of faith,

We leave the past behind

And move into the future’s world

With open heart and mind.

By grace we work with Christ,

As one community,

To bring new hope and fuller life

To all humanity.

 

Luke 4:l8-19
