Our Father…
To Whom all glory is due. Forgive us.
For we have lost our way and our faith,
So that we can no longer see clearly
The Hand that carried us through the
Tempestuous oceans of war and ignorance.
Have mercy on those of us
Who stand fist-in-air decrying your decrees,
Second guessing your perfect judgments,
Redefining reality to satisfy
Our insatiable, unbearable appetites.
In your wrath, forget not your mercy.
In your holiness, expose our foolishness.
In your love may we be disciplined.
But in your power, direct our path back to you.
Our souls long for revival in our midst.
Let your light shine in America again.
May your enemies stumble into their own traps.
May your Name be hallowed once again.
May love, mercy, and goodness reign,
That we may rejoice in your mighty works
Forever,
Amen.
