[quote name='Autumn Dusk' post='1451806' date='Jan 28 2008, 12:56 AM']1. Come! Live in the light!
Shine with the joy and the love of the Lord!
We are called to be light for the Kingdom,
to live in the freedom of the city of God!

Refrain: We are called to act with justice,
we are called to love tenderly,
we are called to serve one another;
to walk humbly with God!

2. Come! Open your heart!
Show Your mercy to all those in fear!
We are called to be hope for the hopeless
so all hatred and blindness will be no more!
3. Sing! Sing a new song!
Sing of that great day when all will be one!
God will reign, and we'll walk with each other
as sisters and brothers united in love!

Ahh here's the song I was thinking of[/quote]


This was our song for confirmation. After hearing it waaaaayyyy too many times during our Confirmation sessions and in rehearsal and the day of...I now cringe every time I hear it.

And we all know that gas is better out than in.

(Upward gas or downward gas, btw?)

we sang(amongst others)
LORD, WHEN YOU CAME TO THE SEASHORE / PESCADOR DES HOMBRES

by Cesareo Gabarain

1. Lord, when you came to the seashore you weren't seeking the wise or the wealthy, but only asking that I might follow.

REFRAIN (English): O Lord, in my eyes you were gazing, Kindly smiling, my name you were saying; All I treasured, I have left on the sand there; Close to you, I will find other seas.

REFRAIN (Spanish): Señor me has mirado a los ojos, sonriendo has dicho mi nombre, en la rena he dejado mi barca, junto a ti buscaré otro mar.

2. Lord, you knew what my boat carried: neither money nor weapons for fighting, but nets for fishing my daily labor. (REFRAIN)

3. Lord, have you need of my labor, hands for service, a heart made for loving, my arms for lifting the poor and broken? (REFRAIN)

4. Lord, send me where you would have me, to a village, or heart of the city; I will remember that you are with me. (REFRAIN)

Guilty as charged, too. :mellow:

I've come not to chastise, though. Just snooping around :ninja:

Laudate_Dominum

In the religion that I believe in the Divine Liturgy is more about the adoration and praise of the Most Holy Trinity and the deification of the cosmos, but of course there are some pretty phat social justice Masses (if you want to call it that) such as this one (below is a sampling of the propers):

[i]Dignus est Agnus, qui occisus est, accipere virtutem, et divinitatem, et sapientiam, et fortitudinem, et honorem. Ipsi gloria et imperium in saecula saeculorum. -- Deus, judicium tuum Regi da: et justitiam tuam Filio Regis. V.: Gloria Patri... Dignus est Agnus...[/i]

[i]Almighty and everlasting God, who in Thy beloved Son, the King of the whole world, hast willed to restore all things, mercifully grant that all the kindreds of the nations that are divided by the wound of sin, may be brought under the sweet yoke of His rule. Who liveth and reigneth, with God the Father...[/i]

[i]Alleluia, alleluia. V.: His power is an everlasting power that shall not be taken away: and His kingdom that shall not be destroyed. Alleluia. V.: (Apoc. 19. 16). He hath on His garment, and on His thigh written: King of kings, and Lord of lords. Alleluia.[/i]

[i]O Lord, we offer unto Thee the Victim of man's reconciliation: grant, we beseech Thee, that He whom we immolate in this present sacrifice, may Himself bestow on all nations the gifts of unity and peace, even our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, who liveth...[/i]

[i]It it meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God: Who didst anoint, with the oil of gladness, Thine only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to be the eternal Priest and King of the universe; that by offering Himself a spotless Victim and peace-offering on the altar of the Cross, He might accomplish the mysteries of man's redemption, and that having subjected all creatures to His dominion, He might present to Thine infinite Majesty an everlasting and universal Kingdom; a kingdom of truth and life; and kingdom of holiness and grace; a kingdom of justice, love, and peace. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis[/i]

[i]Sedebit Dominus Rex in aeternum: Dominus benedicet populo suo in pace.[/i]

Actually peace in the world and the good of the poor and afflicted are some of the most perennial themes of the historical Roman rite. This Mass is a propitiatory sacrifice of praise offered to the Father by Christ Himself in the Holy Spirit so the way in which these supplications are expressed is no doubt of a different character than that of the more general religious songs. I still think this is some common ground though. :cool:
