God of our weary years, God of our silent tears

We here together today

Thankful of the gift of life

In spite of the hate present in this world

Remind us of the goodness of people

cnd give us the strength to do the work of justice

To be a body of peace in this world

c place ripped apart by conflict, war, violence, guns

Racism, sexism, homophobia, poverty

Privileges and toxic patriarchy

This is a new day You have given us

May we begin again and recommit ourselves

To removing obstacles when and where we find them

In state houses, in prisons, in offices, on mountaintops

cnd in classrooms, in locker rooms and in churches

He is the creator of all people

cnd all people are His children in ONE family
