we are trembling.
we are outraged,
that murderous acts of violence
are committed in Your Name.
Lord God, come and set things right,
starting right here, right now.
God have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Spirit have mercy.
We will not be diminished in our faith by a culture of “thoughts and prayers.” We are a people praying for the courage and wisdom to act.
a blessing for when violence is done in the name of Jesus
we are trembling.
we are outraged,
that murderous acts of violence
are committed in Your Name.
Lord God, come and set things right,
starting right here, right now.
God have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Spirit have mercy.
the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
psalm 29:4 KJV
God have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Spirit have mercy.
o how wonderful art thou in thy works,
through the greatness of thy power
shall thine enemies be found liars unto thee.
psalm 66:3 (1662 Coverdale)
blessed are we who say, God,
You saw it,
the banner of the holy name of Jesus
exploited and as good as trampled on,
over acts of blind fury and deadly violence--
the day that lawmaking stopped
and lawlessness and chaos broke through.
God, you saw the sparks that set all this in motion:
lies dressed as truth,
cowardice posing as courage,
cunning disguised as boldness,
sedition resting comfortably
like a parasite within a host
that remains unaware that its very essence
is being drained away.
we saw it. and we know this wasn’t You.
for we have lately been to the manger.
who came in love
“not to conquer other kings by earthly warfare,
but by his own death to subdue them to himself…
not that living he might fight,
but that dying he might triumph.”
(Fulgentius)
You are our mighty king, our refuge, our protector.
show us how to restore order
when chaos seems stronger.
let Your light penetrate the darkness utterly,
that freedom might be restored,
freedom in civil society,
and freedom within each of us
and wisdom and strength
to live by Your Spirit.
blessed are we who say God,
sustain us as we stand in the gap
between our present suffering and our future hope
show us how to preserve the good,
protect the vulnerable, feed the hungry,
