Anthem for the National Ecumenical Conference on Justice for Dalits 2010


We are the church, you are the One we search
We ‘re on the march, for you are our life’s approach
We bear the Cross and overcome our sins reproach 
We ‘re in your reign living the values in perch

Caste or Christ, make a choice now
one gives death and other lets live
to cast out caste, come let us vow
the spirit of our calling lets re-live

Divisions, discriminations and oppressions
Dominations, admonitions and suppressions
O Caste, how cruel are your descriptions
Found within and around our inscriptions

Let justice roll down like a river
cleansing away injustices forever
Let righteousness flow down to revere
cleaving up the divisions sever

Come out to celebrate inclusivity
Come back to life burying exclusivity
Cull out to fight darkness in all sincerity
Call out a fast for it’s a gain to liberty
