Grant us a hearing, God:

our plea is warranted;

we’re telling the whole truth.

Pronounce us not guilty.

You see our true motives;

You probe our heart mind links

for night-hatched plots, and find

no deceit, greed or spite.

Because we follow You,

money or violence

cannot seduce us.

When we pray we know You

listen and will answer.

Reveal Your Wondrous Love

to harassed refugees.

Watch us like a Mother;

shelter and protect us

from those whose words can kill.

Threat-hurlers surround us:

their proud mouths yip and yap;

from hard-shelled hearts clammed shut

their mean looks pummel us.

Face them down now, Spirit.

Free us from high-flying

doom-deservers who stuff

their bored children senseless.

We will see You and rest

our case in the morning.
