Wondrous Carbon Dust

from 7 Songs by Luke Vassella

/

about

a retelling of the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-8.
An observation of the persistence of the Lismore Knitting Nannas Against Gas.
An affirmation of the prayer Jesus taught his followers to pray.

lyrics

Wondrous Carbon Dust - Words & Music by Luke Vassella 2015

I was thinking about the story Jesus told his friends about not giving up
He said there was a judge, didn't care about God or men or old women
He was just an empty cup
He ignored the widow pleading for justice, crying out to him day and night
That judge could not care less, but he got so sick and tired of her persistence
He finally did what was right

So listen to the careless judge, pray my friends and don't give up

Down on the corner of Conway & Carrington Street
2 O'clock every Thursday, I've seen those Knitting Nannas meet
Pleading for justice, to protect the land and the water
For Australia's children, every son and every daughter
O lead us from temptation, deliver us from evil
Father forgive our many sins upon this land and it's people
Teach us to be satisfied with all we need for today
My friends if you can hear
Better keep your eyes wide, the kingdom is near

As it is in heaven let it be on earth
So let it be with you
If you're tired of doing good, when you feel discouraged
Remember the good judge knows what you're going through
Pray his kingdom be revealed in you
Do to others as you'd have them do
Let the kingdom live in you
Let every man be a liar, let God be true
Let the kingdom live in you

Cause this is what we are
The wondrous carbon dust of stars
Father see our hurt
And hear our cry
Before we return to dirt

As it is in heaven let it be on earth
