The Webb Sisters - If It Be Your Will

 

If it be your will that I speak no more

And my voice be still as it was before

I will speak no more, I shall abide until

I am spoken for if it be Your will.

If it be your will that a voice be true

From this broken hill I will sing to you

From this broken hill all your praises they shall ring

If it be your will to let me sing.

If it be your will if there is a choice

Let the rivers fill, let the hills rejoice

Let your mercy spill on all these burning hearts in hell

If it be your will to make us well.

And draw us near and bind us tight

All your children here in their rags of light

In our rags of light all dressed to kill

And end this night if it be Your will,

if it be Your will.

      There is a genocide taking place in Gaza.  Over the past 18 months, Israel’s ongoing military attacks have killed at least 55,000 people in Gaza, though the death toll is likely much higher.  The majority of Gaza’s over 2 million people have been forcibly displaced multiple times, and starvation is being used as a weapon of war.

      Israel’s latest attacks on Gaza began on Oct. 7, 2023 after Palestinians from Gaza carried out attacks in Israel that killed at least 1,200 Israelis, injured thousands more, and took an estimated 240 hostages. Since then, Israel has destroyed or damaged 90% of all homes in Gaza and has blocked most food, water, medicine, and other lifesaving aid from entering Gaza. People are dying of starvation and disease.
