Heal our world, O Christ Sophia; heal us all, we pray; Fill us all with lovingkindness; show your peaceful way. Hear the urgent cries of children, marching for their lives; Help us now to end the violence, so they all survive. [Chorus] Christ Sophia, heal our world we pray; Fill us all with lovingkindness; show your peace way. Women rise up now for justice, calling out “Me Too”; Black Lives Matter movement joins in making all things new. Help us join your work of healing, that we all may thrive; Give us grace and strength for action; keep our hope alive. Scripture Reading
