Verse 1
God of freedom God of justice
You whose love is strong as death
You who saw the dark of prison
You who knew the price of faith
Touch our world of sad oppression
With Your Spirit's healing breath
Verse 2
Rid the earth of torture's terror
You whose hands were nailed to wood
Hear the cries of pain and protest
You who shed the tears and blood
Move in us the power of pity
Restless for the common good
Verse 3
Make in us a captive conscience
Quick to hear to act to plead
Make us truly sisters brothers
Of whatever race or creed
Teach us to be fully human
Open to each other's needs
