Change Our Hearts (Rory Cooney)

Change Our Hearts
(Rory Cooney)


            Change our hearts this time;
            Your word says it can be.
            Change our minds, this time;
            Your life could make us free.
            We are the people your call sets apart.
            Lord, this time, change our hearts.

            Brought by your hand to the edge of our dreams,
            One foot in paradise, one in the waste,
            Drawn by your promises, still we are lured
            By the shadows and the chains we leave behind.

            Refrain

            Now, as we watch, you stretch out your hands,
            Offering abundances, fullness of joy,
            Your milk and honey seem distant, unreal,
            When we have bread and water in our hands.  But…
           
            Refrain

            Show us the way that leads to your side
            Over the mountains and sands of the soul.
            Be for us manna, water from stone,
            Light which says we never walk alone.  And…


            Refrain
