without fear
We are waiting
for Justice without end
without vengeance
without hatred
without lies
We are waiting
for Peace without end
without displacement
without borders
without war
We are waiting
for Restoration without end
without favoritism
without fatigue
without debt
We are waiting
for Joy without end
without reservation
without rebuke
without want
Holy Love, Divine Justice,
God of Peace, Restoration and Joy:
we are waiting for you.
We need you.
Amen.
