#358: Great God, Your Love Has Called Us
The hymn tune name is the same as the last name of my assistant principal from elementary school so that probably says something about suffering and atonement...
Verse two is great, I'm just gonna quote it in its entirety:
We come with self-inflicted pains
Of broken trust and chosen wrong,
Half-free, half-bound by inner chains
By social forces swept along,
By powers and systems close confined,
Yet seeking hope for humankind.
I mean, dang. "Half-free, half-bound." Good stuff.
