11. IN NEED OF LIBERATION

The world stands in need of liberation, my Lord,
It still has to feel your power.
The blind and the deaf, the dumb and the maimed,
All need to feel your healing touch.
The world stands in need of liberation, my Lord.
It still has to learn to love.

There are those who have eyes but refuse to see
The inhumanity that’s done.
There are those who have ears but refuse to hear
The cries of those in agony.

There are those who have mouths but refuse to speak
Against injustice done to some
There are those who have hands but refuse to reach
Them out in love and charity.

12. GLORY AND PRAISE TO OUR GOD

Glory and praise to our God;
Who alone gives light to our days;
Many are the blessings he bears
To those who trust in his ways

We, the daughters and sons of Him,
Who built the valleys and plains
Praise the wonders our God has done
In every heart that sings.

In his wisdom he strengthens us
Like gold that’s tested in fire.
Though the power of sin prevails,
Our God is there to save

Every moment of every day
Our God is waiting to save
Always ready to seek the lost.
To answer those who pray.
