“God of Wisdom, Patient, Kind”


God of wisdom, patient, kind,
Justice is to be like You.
Goodness, mercy unconfined,
Justice is to be like You.
Joyful giver, glad to share,
Justice is to be like You.
Fearless love and tender care,
Justice is to be like You.

Christ, the Father’s human face,
Justice is to love like You.
Rich compassion, tireless grace,
Justice is to love like You.
Healing body, heart, and mind,
Justice is to love like You.
Holy, truthful, deeply kind,
Justice is to love like You.

As we work and watch and wait,
Father God, Your Kingdom come!
Cleanse, renew, and recreate–
Father God, Your Kingdom come!
Bless our world with love’s increase!
Father God, Your Kingdom come!
First Your justice, then Your peace.
Father God, Your Kingdom come!
