Shirley Erena Murray is a hymn lyric writer from New Zealand.   Her hymns are beautiful and evocative, and bring up themes of justice.   Community of Christ is one of the best known of them in North America

.Community of Christ, look past the church’s door
and see the refugee , the hungry, and the poor.
Take hands with the oppressed, the jobless in your street,
take towel and water that you wash your neighbor’s feet.  

Community of Christ was written by Shirley Erena Murray, and in my hymnal is sung to the tune LEONI.  Copyright 1991, Hope Publishing Company.
