Hear me, O Lord
You who came to me in my time of need
Hear now my prayer
How long we will cling to this system of inequity
Shaming people who fight for the rights of others
God you have called us all to care for one another
Open the ears and hearts of people in power to our cries for justice
Help us to remain faithful to you
To speak from a place of love and not hatred
Guide our words and our actions
As we trust in you
There are so many searching for your light
Who are surrounded by darkness
Be with them and those around them
So your light may shine through all people
So that there may finally be peace and balance in this world
And so that everyone on earth may know your love.
