Hopeless to help in this violence, this crisis

1

Hopeless to help in this violence, this crisis,

here in the focus of bloodshed and fear,

common humanity binds us together,

love at the centre, not hatred's veneer.

2

Jewish and Christian and Muslim together,

all the world's people, we each have a place.

Love is our purpose when those filled with hatred

break down relationships, nullify grace.

Verse 3 follows

Tune: STEWARDSHIP
