This is a David MacGregor song of lament and hope. It might have a place as a reflection.
The sheet music is at his site and at Willow.
It sounded a country song to me:
My heart is strained with sadness
There’s sorrow beyond words
I’m such a loss to make real sense
of all I’ve seen and heard
Why are we so divided?
Why can’t we be as one?
O, why O God
Yes, why so God
Yes, what have we become?Come flow … compassion
Come flow … your peace
Come flow … deep understanding
Come flow …
Come flow … your loveWhen innocents meet violence
While practicing their faith
While lives are torn asunder
By evil’s human face
May we find in each other
You and your love for all
Each beautiful, made in your love
Flow Spirit, change us all
Come flow …(optional 3rd verse)
So blessings be to you who mourn
for comfort will be yours
And blessings – all who work for peace
for such a holy cause
And blessings to the kind ones
God’s mercy come your way
And blessings to the pure in heart
Flow in us, God, this day
Come flow …David MacGregor
