Heaven's God have mercy on us, free us from the world's contempt,
take away our pain and anguish,
quell the need for our lament.
We are watching, waiting, longing
for the help that you can give:
staunching arrogant derision,
freeing us to love and live.
Verse Three follows
Tune: CROSS OF JESUS
Andrew Pratt (born 1948)
