Lyrics:
God weeps at love withheld,
At strength misused,
At children's innocence abused.
And 'til we change the way we love,
God weeps.

God bleeds at anger's fist,
At trust betrayed,
At women battered and afraid.
And 'til we change the way we win,
God bleeds.

God cries at hungry mouths,
At running sores,
At creatures dying without cause.
And 'til we change the way we are,
God cries.

God waits for stones to melt,
For peace to seed,
For hearts to hold each other's need.
And 'til we understand the Christ,
God waits.
