Sin and Oppression

Sook-Ja Chung, who was a pastor of Women Church in Korea, wrote the words of this song:

We are the daughters of God, Women Church.

It’s a small church gathered by the least.

It’s a community standing by the side of the oppressed.

We are filled with hope and joy.

We are the disciples of Jesus Women Church.

It’s a small church neither high nor low.

It’s a community of sharing our stories in a circle.

We bless each other with hand in hand.

We are the daughters of Mother, Women Church.

It’s a small church bringing people to life.

It’s a community of loving and caring.

We work for justice and peace in this world.

This song is a cry, a statement that one doesn’t speak, they sing! It’s a statement of being free from oppression. It’s a statement of standing by the oppressed. This is a statement about love, and standing together as community. No matter the oppressors or what culture teaches this song shows we can stand hand and hand to fight for justice as a community.

Jesus says, "BLESSED are those that have not seen and yet believe.” The question I pose is, “how BLESSED are those who have seen the Sin of this world and still believe?”
