Definitive
- French Killings hymn - This version should be used from now to
replace the previous version.
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.
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.
Give me your hand, then
let peace grow between us,
let us rebuild what
distrust might destroy.
Now in this moment
we'll make a commitment,
love is the weapon
we'll use and deploy.
