We cry for the people of Ukraine, Lord,
while we feel so helpless here at home...
We're confused by much of what we read,
not sure which path might bring us peace...
We cringe when we see the innocent suffer:
why, O Lord? why them? why now?
We fail and we fail and we fail again
to treasure and keep the peace you offer...
We're angry we haven't learned from our past
and we wonder now if we ever will...
We're frightened by what the future may hold,
we hope that the wise and the sane will prevail...
We pray and we pray and we pray, O Lord,
and we pray and we trust you hear our prayer...
Protect us, Lord while we're awake
and watch over us while we sleep
- especially those in harm's way -
that awake, we might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
O, Lord Hear My Prayer (Taize)
Oh, Lord hear my prayer,
Oh Lord, hear my prayer
When I call answer me.
Oh Lord, hear my prayer,
Oh Lord, hear my prayer,
Come and listen to me.
