Radical Compassion: l'Arche Hymn

Gary Smith, S.J. - RADICAL COMPASSION: Finding Christ in the Heart of the Poor

Lord Jesus, of you I will sing as I journey.
I’ll tell all my neighbours about you wherever I go.
You alone give us life, give us peace, give us love.
Lord Jesus, of you I will sing as I journey.

Lord Jesus, I’ll praise you as long as I journey.
May all of my joy be a faithful reflection of you.
May the earth and the sea and the sky join my song.
Lord Jesus, I’ll praise you as long as I journey. 

As long as I live, Jesus, make me your servant,
To carry your cross and to share all your burdens and tears;
For you save us by giving your body and blood.
As long as I live, Jesus, make me your servant. 

I fear in the dark and the doubt of my journey,
But courage will come with the sound of your steps by my side,
And with all of the people you saved by your love,
We’ll sing to the dawn at the end of our journey.
