Micah 6

lyrics

(Micah 6, Genesis 1:26-27)

Now what shall I bring to the Lord, God of Heaven?
And how shall I worship, and give him my best?
He does not demand the burning of offerings,
not our treasures or children or streams of oil.

Chorus:
Act justly,
love mercy,
walk humbly with your God.
He has shown you, Humanity,
what he has asked of us.

See you pay a fair wage to workers you hire,
and do not exploit them - the poor or the weak.
Acquire all wealth through the methods of honour,
and see not to adopt any false policies.

Do you hear, do you hear
how he calls to the city?
To ones who seek value while values are lost.
Our worship is spun with the threads of choices:
in the justice we offer, and grace that we show.

In our work, and our homes,
in the leading of government,
may we act with integrity
in public, alone.
When in love we engage
with the people around us
we become living images, all worshipping God.
