Refrain:
Return to God with all your heart, the source of grace and mercy;Now the time of grace has come, the day of salvation;
Come seek the tender faithfulness of God
Come and learn now the way of our God. (Refrain)
I will take your heart of stone and place a heart within you,
A heart of compassion and love. (Refrain)
If you break the chains of oppression,
If you set the pris'ner free;
If you share your bread with the hungry,
Give protection to the lost;
Give shelter to the homeless,
Clothe the naked in your midst,
Then your light shall break forth like the dawn. (Refrain)
Words & Music: Marty Haugen (b. 1950)

It would be nice the the melody was true in the third line of the refrain.
