SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD “Spirit of the Living God” United Methodist Hymnal (p. 393) The United Methodist Publishing House, Nashville, TN Words: David Iverson
Spirit of the living God Fall afresh on me. Spirit of the living God Fall afresh on me.
Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me. Spirit of the living God Fall afresh on me.
“We cannot separate God’s word from the historical reality in which it is proclaimed. It is God’s word because it enlightens, contrasts, repudiates, and praises what is going on in society today.
A commitment to the word requires a commitment to history. Such acommitment challenges us to recognize, criticize and change the unjust structures of a society that causes suffering.
Such a commitment leads to conflicts and persecutions. Such a commitment can even ask of us that we give everything, even our life for the cause of justice and peace.” - “The Violence of Love” by Oscar Romero
