Words and Music by Orin Johnson<\/p>\n
Why do we pray, O Lord, to end starvation, we have more than the food we need.
\nWhy do we pray, O Lord, to end our warring, you have shown us the way to peace.<\/p>\n
And so we, we ask for strength, for determination,
\nto do your will without hesitation. Lord, O Lord,
\nLet us pray with our hands, let us pray with our feet,
\nLet your mercy turn into action.
\nLet us pray with our hands, let us pray with our feet,
\nShow your mercy at work today.<\/p>\n
Why do we pray, O Lord, to end all illness, when your healing is close at hand.
\nWhy do we pray, O Lord, in desperation, when your hope lives across our land.<\/p>\n
Not just to pray but to do, not just to wish but become,
\nto become your presence now, right now!<\/p>\n
Why do we pray, O Lord, to end injustice, when that power is ours to choose.
\nWhy do we pray, O Lord, in supplication, when you’ve given us gifts to use.<\/p>\n
