[Verse 1]
      G               A        Bm
As we come before You with the needs of our world,
      G                 A       Bm
We confess our failures and our sin;
        G              A       Bm
For our words are many yet our deeds have been few,
        G                  A    Bm
Fan the fire of compassion once again.

[Verse 2]
     G                    A    Bm
When the cries of victims go unheard in the land,
        G              A       Bm
And the scars of war refuse to heal,
        G                      A         Bm
Will we stand for justice to empower the weak
           G                   A      Bm
Till their bonds of oppression are no more?
 
[Chorus]

Kyrie Elei - son, have mer - cy
         Em/G  D         Em/A  D
Christe Elei - son, have mer - cy
 
[Verse 3]
      G                 A       Bm
If we love our God with all our heart, mind and strength,
       G                   A     Bm
And we love our neighbours as ourselves,
          G                A        Bm
Then this law of love will heal the nations of earth
        G                    A    Bm
And the glory of Christ will be revealed.

[Verse 4]
        G              A     Bm
Lord, renew our vision to be Christ where we live,
         G            A      Bm
To reach out in mercy to the lost;
         G               A      Bm
For each cup of kindness to the least in our midst
      G                   A      Bm
Is an offering of worship to the throne.
