¶Liedtext

The poorest suffer first when we pollute the Earth. The powerless suffer first when we dwell in our greed. I feel my lifestyle killing life, Lord let me be freed, oh. R.: Change the infrastructures on this land Jesus. Change the infrastructures in my heart Jesus. Give me openness to understand Jesus how you long to use me oh. I see a fisherman outside Cabinda's expat walls. His fish are dying in dispersant used to hide oil spills. His home no power or water but still he sees heat and seas rise oh. R. Change the infrastructures on this land Jesus. Change the infrastructures in my heart Jesus. Give me openness to understand Jesus how you'd have me be oh! I live in a top ten emittor, we've not met Kyoto Protocol. A smoker puffing out while non smokers round me fall. I'm addicted Jesus help me break these chains oh! R. Lord, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy For climate change have mercy, forest loss have mercy, toxic waste have mercy, extinction rates have mercy, for glacial melt have mercy, urban sprawl have mercy, ozone layer have mercy, polluted air, have mercy, marine loss have mercy, sea levels have mercy, food waste have mercy, policies have mercy, denial have mercy, NIMBYism have mercy, greedy heart have mercy! R. Lord change us!
