Send us Fan MailVoice and Words: Jon SwalesMusic: Sad Piano by Free Use Music by Scott BuckleyLord Jesus Christ,In your Kingdom,Swords will be turned to ploughshares,And tears will be wiped away.Have mercy upon us,According to your unfailing love.Lord Jesus Christ,In our world,Cities are destroyed,Image bearers are butchered.Have mercy upon us.According to your unfailing love.The tears of Ukraine flow,Like a river,Gaining Strength.Have mercy upon us.According to your unfailing love.The injustice of Ukraine increases,As the waves of us war wash over Europe.Have mercy upon us,According to your unfailing love.Lord Jesus Christ,In your bloody execution,You identify with the victims of oppression,You weep beside the grave,Have mercy on us,According to your unfailing love.Lord Jesus Christ,In your glorious resurrection,We see that death and violence do not have the last word,That love itself wins.Let your Kingdom come. And so we plead,For the cessation of war,And the flourishing of peace,Let your Kingdom come.And do we beg,That the plans of Putin,And the machinations of evil,Would be stopped in their tracks.Let your Kingdom come.Lord Jesus Christ,In your kingdom,Swords will be turned to ploughshares,And tears will be wiped away.Have mercy upon us,According to your unfailing love.Amen
