A Prayer for Justice

            
                                                         Lord, may justice flow like a river
                                                    reaching barren lands and sun scorched
                                                                           deserts

Where people feel forgotten and hopeless
Let your water of life
Comfort them
Where children lie abandoned or abused
Let your water of life
Protect them 
Where communities suffer at the hands of prejudice
Let your water of life
Shield them 

Lord, we ask for a mighty downpour of grace from Heaven 
May your sons and daughters hear your voice
May we live as you lead us to live
Go as you bid us to go
Serve as you inspire us to serve
Give as you teach us to give
Until the earth is covered with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea
Amen
