Justice and mercy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A few weeks ago the words of a pastor pierced my heart and have been replaying in my spirit ever since.

 

"When was the last time you were broken hearted for your country?"

 

I believe we must speak life over our nation. When there is so much negativity in the media about how bad things are we have to choose to proclaim blessing. At the same time I believe we need to see that many have turned from the true and living God and as a result things are in a state. This sadness over our country can provoke a heart cry of justice and mercy.  God puts this heart song in us when we ask for it. I pray for a more fervent desperation to see things changed by a God who loves justice and mercy.

 

 

My heart cry- "bring justice and mercy"

Mighty God this is my prayer

Though the heavens sometimes seem like brass

I'm believing that you hear.

 

 

I know you won't desert your people

Stay close oh gentle hand

With justice and with mercy

God have pity on this land.

 

Have compassion. Lord forgive us

Though we don't deserve it- still

-You are a God of patience

Who recovers and rebuilds.

 

In past times this country has crumbled

Much is barren and still bare

But the song of hope is rising up

And victory we declare.

 

In the name of Jesus

We sing blessing, life and peace

When we really grasp your goodness

Our  hearts will bring us to our knees.

 

"I the Lord love justice"

-A promise in your book

The twins justice and mercy

For them we continue to look.

 

 

 

Pray for your country.
