Today there are millions of people who have no healthcare and are living in abject poverty. They don’t know where their next meal will come from. They are abused and live in lands torn by famine, war, disease, disasters, and debt. More than 100 million children go without primary education and are still subject to child labor. Let us pray that world organizations such as UN, UNICEF, World Vision, World Relief, Tear Fund, and others may carry out their mission for the downtrodden. Let us pray for the downtrodden that they might find the right people, resources, and above all meet Christ who makes us whole. Jesus said, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
1. Forgive us when we forget your people
Wander in wicked ways
Lord teach us to be charitable
Pray for the downtrodden every day
Jesu it is your face we seek
Heal your children today
2.Those with minds double
And the proud you cast away
You give grace to the humble
So your scriptures say
Jesu it is your face we seek
Heal your children today
3.There are many who tremble
When they encounter disease, disaster and debt on their way
Make them strong and gentle
As their hearts yearn for you always
Jesu it is your face we seek
Heal your children today
4. Our passions and pleasures make us stumble
Malice, envy, and hatred draw us away
Renew us to be faithful and peaceful
Fill our hearts with compassion we pray
Jesu it is your face we seek
Heal your children today
5. Laws make us quarrel
Foolish controversies hold us in sway
Devote our hearts to the poor and feeble
Renew us with your Holy Spirit each day
Jesu it is your face we seek
Heal your children today
6. Lord have mercy on us as we struggle
It is our broken spirit we display
We come to you like cripples
Make us whole we pray
Jesu it is your face we seek
Heal your children today
