Action Card Briefing – August 2005

The basket was once full of bread,

But now the hungry children sit and pray

As a land of plenty is ravaged and empty!

They break the Bread of Life in faith

But they still hunger for freedom

As friends are betrayed and justice denied!

 

What is the future for the children of Zimbabwe?

 

Come, Holy Spirit,

The doors are open

To welcome you

So move through them

And lead your children of Zimbabwe

Across the doorway at which they sit

Into the place where freedom lives!

 

Come, Lord Jesus,

Where doors are locked

To keep you out

Walk through them now

And show your children of Zimbabwe

That where they wait is at the doorway

Into a place where peace resides!

 

Come, Lord God,

Where your children sit

And pray for peace

Open the doors so they can stand

And walk through the doorway

To find a place where the people of Zimbabwe

Can learn to love and live with justice!
