Prayers of the people

The rage of a summer hot and dry, lingers on
Smoke from a thousand hungry fires fills air and heaven
Hear us, O Lord, we need your rain to quench us

The rage of a winter - too warm lingers on
Water from a thousand clouds drowning island and homes
Hear us, O Lord, we need your sun to dry us

The rage of grievance a thousand years old linger on
Dead from a thousand "justified" killings desolate field and plain
Hear us, O Lord, we need your peace to crush us

The rage of a heart set free, lingers on
Tears from a thousand caresses from heaven to earth

Hear us, O Lord, we need your mercy
