Oh LORD,
We are also your planting,
Pleasant to your sight.
You have looked for justice,
Whose lips have kissed mercy
And peace.
You have sought truth among us.
You have longed for us to do what is right,
To love you supremely,
To love our neighbors as ourselves,
As ourselves,'
Our neighbors,
Our neighbors,
Your children,
Jesus among us,
The least of these.
Instead,
You have found bloodshed.
Oh God, forgive,
Revive,
Restore,
Requite,
Renew,
Review our lives,
Rewrite our scripts,
Reveal yourself,
Regenerate our hearts before you.
Behold the outcry.
Have mercy upon us,
Oh LORD.
