Resilience Carol
1. As long ago when Herod sought to crush the people’s power
And angels sang the birth of one whose peace would never cower
This promise comes once more, resilient and unbowed!
See how Love, the Arc Toward Justice, is born among us now.
Sing with joy, joy! Resilient and unbowed!
Love, the Arc Toward Justice, is born among us now
2.While tyrants, hiding greed, are firing weapons of deceit
A voice of strident courage cries a challenge from the street
This bell will not unpeal, resilient and unbowed!
See how Love, the Agitator, is born among us now.
Sing with joy, joy! Resilient and unbowed!
Love, the Agitator, is born among us now.
3.The orders come that common good be hauled off in the night
But neighbors aiming phones make sure the outrage comes to light
A throng of witness swells, resilient and unbowed!
See how Love, the Organizer, is born among us now.
Sing with joy, joy! Resilient and unbowed!
Love, the Organizer, is born among us now.
4. Though coroners of tyranny pronounce all hope’s demise
Garage bands strike the music up and flagging spirits rise
The driveways fill with dance, resilient and unbowed!
See how Love, the Muse of Heaven, is born among us now.
Sing with joy, joy! Resilient and unbowed!
Love, the Muse of Heaven, is born among us now.
5. So let us bring determined hearts to this most holy night
The angels still are singing and the guiding star’s on high
Together we will rise, resilient and unbowed!
Knowing Love, the Child of Justice, is born among us now.
Sing with joy, joy! Resilient and unbowed!
Love, the Child of Justice, is born among us now.
