Oh, come all you people, from all nations
Rise up and sing joyfully
Let's listen to the new melody
That in Christ freedom comes.
It's time to break away from the slavery
That comes from men or ideas
It's time to say that only God
Is the Lord of the universe.
The truth will set you free
You will be truly free in Christ
Come everyone, oh come now
And let's celebrate with great joy our liberation
Those oppressed or exploited
And those spending days in pain
The lame, blind, captive and lonely
Know that soon a new day is coming
A day of justice, a day of truth
A day in which there will be peace on Earth
And death will be defeated by life
Slavery will finally be ended.

This is a group of Christians seeking justice as one of the core components of active faith.
They take their purpose and call to action from
Micah 6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
It is my hope that you would hear echoes of this verse in my personal profile statement and in my life itself..................

Len, More than echoes, more like clear notes of mercy and love and justice and humility...a harmony.
Blessings and Peace, s.thomas
Thanks for the good words
and the strong example that Grow Mercy and the man behind the curtain are providing to the church on how to live out the call to mercy.
