.music mondays - God of justice.

this:

was REALLY hard to swallow today. this kind of news makes me long for the second coming of Jesus because i believe whole-heartedly that his return is the day when this kind of violence and inhumanity will cease. i still believe in his promises and have a profound respect for the Christian people in Nigeria. this also puts more fuel in my desire to "go" - to be a person who lives out the Word - feeds the hungry and stands beside the broken because it matters., because it changes lives.

so in light of today's tragedy, music monday boasts one of my favorite songs that motivates me to keep living it out.


"God of Justice" by tim hughes

God of Justice, Saviour to all
Came to rescue the weak and the poor
Chose to serve and not be served

Jesus, You have called us
Freely we've received
Now freely we will give

We must go live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken
We must go
Stepping forward keep us from just singing
Move us into action
We must go

To act justly everyday
Loving mercy in everyway
Walking humbly before You God

You have shown us, what You require
Freely we've received
Now freely we will give


Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out Lord
