Words- Rev'd Jon Swales

Music: Alice Brencher

Father of Creation,

God of Mercy,

The rain came down

And the floods came up

Leaving a trail of desperation,

destitution,

& destruction.

Storm Ian gained ferocity and power

Through rising temperatures and rising seas,

Having sowed into the wind of unrestrained capitalism

Humanity now reaps the whirlwind.

Lord have mercy,

Christ have mercy.

We pray for those who mourn ,

We lament the loss of life.

Lord have mercy,

Christ have mercy

We pray for those who are homeless,

We grieve for those traumatised

Lord have mercy

Christ have mercy…
