Today is the Fifth Sunday of
Lent. At the Mass I participated in the
cantor sang Rory Cooney’s Change Our Hearts.
While listening to this song I was struck by how much it mirrors the
need our current world reality. Right now,
our world is suffering greatly. We are besieged
by Covid fatigue, increased incidents of violence, racism, and the crisis at
our southern border. Our world needs a
change of heart. Perhaps with the
newness of spring this may happen. As we
enjoy this beautiful day take a few moments to listen to this song and allow it
to fill your heart with the desire to change.
Change our hearts this time,
Your word says it can be.
Change our minds this time Your life could make us
free.
We are the people your call set apart, Lord, this time
change our hearts.
Brought by your
hand to the edge of our dreams, One foot in paradises, one in the waste;
Drawn by your promises, Still we are lured By the shadows and the
chains we leave behind. But
Change our
hearts this time, Your word says it can be.
Change our minds this time Your life could make us
free.
We are the people your call set apart, Lord, this time
change our hearts.
Now as we watch you stretch
out your hands, Offering abundances, fullness of joy.
Your milk and honey seem distant, Unreal, when we have
bread and water in our hands. But
Change our hearts this time,
Your word says it can be.
Change our minds this time Your life could make us
free.
We are the people your call set apart, Lord, this time
change our hearts.
Show us the way that leads
to your side, Over the mountains and sands of the soul.
Be for us manna, water from the stone, Light which
says we never walk alone. And
Change our hearts this time,
Your word says it can be.
Change our minds this time Your life could make us
free.
We are the people your call set apart, Lord, this time
change our hearts.
