VERSE1 The earth gives way Mountains fall into the heart of the sea Oceans roar and they rage Mountains shake from within PRECHORUS We will not fear We will not fear CHORUS There is a river whose streams Make glad the city of God The holy place where he dwells God is within her, she will not fall No she will not fall VERSE 2 He makes wars cease To the ends of the earth He breaks the bow and he shatters the spear He sets the shield on fire TAG Be still and know that I am God

VERSE 1 The world is weeping Willows sweeping Bending, shaking All is breaking VERSE 2 The world is weary Lifetimes bearing Every breath, every death All are suffering CHORUS 1 Every surface shattering Revealing depths or shallows Forced to face our shadow We’re wondering what happens now VERSE 3 The world is wailing Voices lifting, shifting Borders, boundaries All is changing CHORUS 2 Every surface shattering The lies we bought the ones we’ve sold Forced to face our own shadow We’re wondering what matters now

VERSE 1 Only two black men in my church One of them was shot The one still breathing, the one still raising his hands Said when the body dropped His did too VERSE 2 We were all hoping but not surprised A black man tried to break up a fight gets shot in the back and the neck and the cheek By a cop and he dies But it’s not a crime CHORUS My brother fell My sister faints Her children wail What are we gonna do VERSE 3 She says if she starts crying she’ll never stop So the light stay on the music plays all day But when everyone and the sun is gone She is all alone Rap over chorus material, 16 bars BRIDGE Distance is a privilege we need to surrender If we’re gonna carry burdens Distance is a privilege we need to surrender If we’re gonna love our neighbor Distance is a privilege we need to surrender If we’re gonna be like Jesus Distance is a privilege that was taken from me And I hope it’s taken from you too

LEAD US TO THE END Gen 4; Ex 2; Ps 126; Ez 36; Lk 14, 24; Eph 2; Is 11; Ps 24 O God we are crying out Marked by the violence of Cain Our hands are bloodstained, forgive us O God, your children are suffering You hear the groaning You know the sorrows, have mercy We are sowing in tears May they be, Lord, seeds of your peace Take our hearts of stone Give us hearts of flesh Lead us to the end Of us versus them Spread wide your table Lord Gather us in Tear down the barrier walls Between us and them There is a light shining in our darkness There is a spring whose waters never fail There is a voice crying out in the wilderness There is a way of peace through the valley through the shadow of death By the power of the Spirit By the word made flesh In the kingdom of heaven With the wolf and the lamb The earth is the Lord’s And all it contains Lead us to the end of us versus them Rap: To see your face / even clearer My neighbor’s face / is in my mirror We need your power / to fall like showers We need your grace / to fill this place We need your love / from up above We need your hope / just to cope We need your hand/ to trust your plan We need you now / we’re crying out We face east/ to feel your peace We face south / and laugh out loud We face west / tears hit our chest We face north / groan for warmth To your image / please conform Unity / not uniform Tear down / the barrier wall Then we’ll celebrate / and watch it fall

LIGHTS IN THE DARK Griot: This song is dedicated to all those who have lost their lives in the struggle against racial injustice at the hands of police brutality, unjust policies and procedures. Brothers and Sisters, be encouraged: we are the light, and we have the power. We all live We all move We all draw our breath from you (2x) From the dust Of the stars Brought to life Raised to consciousness We are a part of A larger whole A wild ferment Mystery to behold Open our eyes To the glory The spirit weaves A constellation of stories From the hidden To the conspicuous A spark burns Within each of us We’ve got lights in the dark We’ve got water from the rock Of every beating heart Every breath Griot: God breathed us into existence. God spoke something into existence out of nothing. That’s just how God is. God dwells in the dark places. God dwells in the shadow. God leads us through the shadow, the valley, death. There’s no evil. One breath. We all live We all move We all draw our breath from you (2x) Awaken the world Born before us Listen to the groaning Join the chorus Each one A God-breathed wonder Beautiful creation Sister, brother We can inherit the darkness Inhabit the fissures Synchronize Blur divisions Let the walls fall down The seas part We were made to breathe Breathe together Let the walls fall down The seas part We were made to breathe Breathe together We’ve got lights in the dark We’ve got water from the rock We’ve got love in the depths Of every beating heart Every breath (2x) Rap: Every breath we breathe we breathe with the help of the one who sits up high and loves us best but when we try to light our candles and get a handle it’s difficult to hold up the holy mantle when all we see is bloodshed all around us it makes us fuss and wonder who can we trust you want me to shine my light but you put it under a basket you want me to shine my light but why do I have to ask if my life matters and if I ask a question will you answer or will you treat me like you’re master and I’m the servant I’m telling ya’ll it’s really urgent we shine our lights together trimmed and burning I’m asking for help from my brothers and my sisters my misters my misses all those whose wish is to see all lives really matter, really matter let’s start with the Black lives cause that’s whose being battered Chants: Black lives matter. Black lives matter. No justice, no peace. No crooked police. No justice, no peace. No crooked police. We have power. I am light. Griot: One breath. One life. One love. One faith. One Lord. One hope. One Virus. One Day. One People.
