Sojourners has put their own twist in their "subversive sing-along" to the tune of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." I'm sure you could sing it in your head as you read.
Have Yourself a Peace and Justice Christmas
Have yourself a peace and justice Christmas, Set your heart a-right.
Flee the malls and focus on Christ’s guiding light.
Have yourself a peace and justice Christmas, Give your time a way.
Share God’s love, And serve “the least of these” today.
Here we are, as we pray for peace,We’ll live simply and give more.
We care for those far and near to us,Which brings cheer to us, once more.
God brings down the haughty from high places, And lifts up the low.
God cares for the hungry and the humble, so –
Forget the stress and let the peace and justice flow!
Perhaps this is a good antidote to holiday consumerism (says the guy who typed this blog on his early Christmas present). In any case, Sojourners does have some practical tips for putting the words into practice, as well as a pledge to sign (I have never been a big fan of pledges or alter calls, though I appreciate their intentions). If you truly want to support peace and justice this Christmas, I suggest supporting orphans in Tanzania.
