"For Everyone Born," Wilshire Sanctuary Choir

"For Everyone Born" is a beautiful anthem based on lyrics by Shirley Erena Murray. Here performed by Wilshire's Sanctuary Choir with
Zachary Mansell on cello.
For everyone born, a place at the table,
for everyone born, clean water and bread,
A shelter, a space, a safe place for growing,
for everyone born, a star overhead.
And God will delight when we are creators of justice and joy, compassion and peace.
Yes, God will delight when we are creators of justice, justice and joy!
For woman and man, a place at the table,
revising the roles, deciding the share,
With wisdom and grace, dividing the power,
for woman and man, a system that’s fair.
And God will delight when we are creators of justice and joy, compassion and peace.
Yes, God will delight when we are creators of justice, justice and joy!
For young and for old, a place at the table,
a voice to be heard, a part in the song,
The hands of a child in hands that are wrinkled,
for young and for old, the right to belong.
And God will delight when we are creators of justice and joy, compassion and peace.
Yes, God will delight when we are creators of justice, justice and joy!
For everyone born, a place at the table,
to live without fear, and simply to be,
To work, to speak out, to witness and worship,
for everyone born, the right to be free.
And God will delight when we are creators of justice and joy, compassion and peace.
Yes, God will delight when we are creators of justice, justice and joy!
