God Is Dying With The Children

There are some great hymns that are great in part because they were written out of personal experience of tragedy, suffering, great celebration and joy, or a major cultural or historical event. This new text by British Methodist pastor and hymn writer Andrew Pratt is one of those.

This hymn is filled with phrases and images that are compelling and memorable; but the fact that it is written at the height of the tragic bombing and resulting death and devastation in Israel and Lebanon in the summer of 2006 makes it all the more compelling and memorable. We want to pray in the midst of such destruction, but words fail us. It is the gift of the hymn writer to be able to give words for us to read, sing, and pray at times when can not pray ourselves.
