Description:Justice is the thread of gold running through both the Old and New Testaments, from the creation to the covenant, the cradle to the cross. It is also the theme of this exciting new collection of hymns and songs. Hunger for Justice celebrates God's Kingdom, the dreams and the demands, the hope and the healing. In a world of empty promises these hymns are a breath of fresh air. In a world where poverty is still the ultimate weapon of mass destruction these songs challenge our apathy and inspire us to reclaim our prophetic heritage.

We lay our broken world
We plough the fields, and scatter
We shall rise
We turn to you, O God of every nation
What Jesus would have done
What star shall we follow
When I needed a neighbour
When Light looked down
Who can sound the depths of sorrow
Who would think
Will you come and follow me
Y
You're the one
Yours is the kingdom
FOREWORD
Every human struggle has its song, a creative expression of hope and protest. Amongst all the arts used to further the causes of justice and peace, music has arguably been the most powerful instrument of change. So I am delighted to recommend this fine collection of hymns and songs.
In this world of makeovers, rollovers, and instant fame or fortune, it is important not to lose sight of the real problems facing the world and its people. With half the world's people going to bed hungry every night and billions suffering from the effects of debt, disease, exploitation, pollution, and unfair trade rules, the people of God are surely called to put their faith into action; to be part of the solution.
I am so impressed with the way in which Christian Aid courageously tackles the root causes of poverty, and helps us see how we can all make a real difference. It is empowering to be involved in the movement for global justice and to have such a wealth of refreshing songs to inspire us!
All the major campaigns led by Christians have been born out of worship and prayer. This collection gives us the opportunity to not only raise our voices in songs of praise, but also to stand alongside God's precious poor; expose the scandal of poverty; unfold God's kingdom and express our hunger for justice.
