Close as tomorrow the sun shall appear, Freedom is coming, and healing is near. And I shall be with you, in laughter and pain, To stand in the wind and walk in the reign, To walk in the reign. In days to come, the desert shall bloom. Rivers will run there, soon, very soon. So what shall we fear though death do its worst? The word of our God is the last shall be first, the last shall be first. O comfort each other, for pain soon must end. A day comes when lion and lamb shall be friends. The sightless shall see then, the speechless sing songs. The name of our God is “the righter of wrongs, the righter of wrongs.” A curtain of fear is being torn down, Prisons are open, the lost have been found. So go tell the seeker what we’ve seen and heard: The name of our God is the keeper of word, the keeper of word. Bethlehem! You think you’re so small that God doesn’t notice your children at all! The streets of Soweto, the docks at Gdansk, Tienanmen Square, the slums of the Bronx: When we stand together to stand against hell, The name of his people is Emmanuel, is Emmanuel. A sower in planting in acres unseen The seeds of the future, the field of God’s dream. Those meadows are humming, though none sees them rise. The name of the sower is God of surprise, the God of surprise. Oh, one day we’ll know them, the treasure, the pearl, That capture our spirits and brighten our world. We ache to possess them, the burden that frees: The treasure of justice, the pearl of God’s peace, the pearl of God’s peace. That morning of madness - Manhattan in flame. In Gaza and Baghdad (or Kabul), the cry is the same: Has God turned against us, his people reviled? The same sign is given: a woman with child, a woman with child.
