lyrics

Refrain:
How long, O Lord?
How long until we find the peace we seek?
We long for an end to suff'ring.
Come quickly Lord; transform us, Lord,
we pray.

1. Help us end the violence that destroys Your fam'ly.
Bring us peace!
Inspire in us the strength to act;
let us turn to you and heed your call.

Refrain

2. Help us end the hatred that denies the helpless.
Bring us peace!
To renew our world, we must share your love;
let us turn to you and heed your call.

Refrain

3. Help us end the abuse of the poor and forgotten.
Bring us peace!
May we live out Your justice and truth;
let us turn to you and heed your call.

Refrain

4. Help us end the deception that exploits the outcast.
Bring us peace!
Your sacred word will lead us to life;
let us turn to you and heed your call.

Refrain

5. Our shared communion restores our promise
to be Your peace!
Reveal to us the path to freedom;
let us turn to you and heed your call.

Refrain
