the stones shout out,
sing praise to God,
but we have fallen silent.
where, o God, are our hosannas,
where our blessing of your Name?
lost, o God, in self obsession,
lost in the chase for success;
lost, o God, in greedy negligence,
lost in the systems of injustice.
forgive us our silence,
Holy One,
restore our voices to praise.
the stones shout out, and so
must we – shout blessing,
shout honour, shout praise
for the God of Mercy and Peace.
