Happy Antifa Sunday. This is a hymn I wrote for our church service this morning.
Let congress, and
parliament,
kings, and premiers and presidents,
Confess
the truth and now repent
Before the King.
Confess that we
have gone to war,
Killed our enemies and ten thousand
more,
We’ve ignored the voice of the poor
And
suffering.
All our violent,
warring states,
Founded on vicious crimes of hate,
And
built with greed insatiate
Are worthless things.
May all earthly
empires fall,
Scattered hard and not recalled,
Let the
Lord’s victorious call
Forever ring.
Let the
whole world be amazed
By the one who died and was
raised,
Lives forever to be praised
And hailed as King.
All the humble and
broken ones,
Neglected daughters and forgotten sons,
Will
be like the stars and the sun
Bright shining.
Christ the King,
with nail-scarred hands,
Will bless the people of the
lands
Who acquiesce to Love’s demands
For living.
