We are on the mo֨ve now
The bu֤rning of our chu֨rches will not de֔ter us
We are on the mo֨ve now
The bombing of our ho֨mes will not dissu֔ade us
We are on the mo֨ve now
The be֤ating and ki֨lling of our cle֨rgymen and young pe֔ople will no֖t
divert us׃
We are on the mo֨ve now. Like an ide֨a whose time has co֔me,
not even the ma֕rching of mighty a֣rmies can ha֑lt us.
We are mo֖ving to the la֖nd of freedom׃
Now the f֨act that this new a֨ge is eme֜rging
reve֧als something ba֣sic about the u֗niverse.
It te֨lls us so֤mething about the co֨re and hea֣rtbeat of the co֔smos.
It remi֖nds us that the u֖niverse is on the side of justice׃
It sa֤ys to those who stru֣ggle for ju֔stice:
“You do not stru֣ggle alone, but Go֖d stru֣ggles wi֑th you.”
This belie֙f that G֤od is on the side of tr֣uth and ju֔stice
comes do֖wn to us from the long tra֖dition of our faith׃
We are on the move now
The burning of our churches will not deter us
We are on the move now
The bombing of our homes will not dissuade us
We are on the move now
The beating and killing of our clergymen and young people will not
divert us׃
We are on the move now. Like an idea whose time has come,
not even the marching of mighty armies can halt us.
We are moving to the land of freedom׃
Now the fact that this new age is emerging
reveals something basic about the universe.
It tells us something about the core and heartbeat of the
cosmos.
It reminds us that the universe is on the side of justice׃
It says to those who struggle for justice:
“You do not struggle alone, but God struggles with you.”
This belief that God is on the side of truth and justice
comes down to us from the long tradition of our faith׃
