The election is a week from today, Lord
- and you already know who the winner will be...
You already know
what we will decide
and you already know
the implications and consequences
of the decision we're about to make...
I don't know exactly
how your Spirit moves among us
and I'm not altogether sure how to pray
in this final week...
But I know it's my hope
that the ticket we elect
is the one better suited
to do what is good,
to love and show mercy,
to walk always humbly by your side...
I fear, Lord, what may come of our vote
so this morning I pray for my nation:
God, bless America
with wisdom, insight and common sense;
with a hunger for justice tempered with mercy;
with reverence and love for the whole of creation;
with leaders who do what is right and true,
who give of themselves without counting the cost...
God, bless America,
America, my home sweet home...
Amen.
