Grant us a hearing, God,
our plea is warranted,
we’re telling the whole truth.
Pronounce us not guilty.
You see our true motives,
You probe our heart mind links
for night-hatched plots, and find
no deceit, greed or spite.
Because we follow You,
money or violence
cannot seduce us.
When we pray we know You
listen and will answer.
Reveal Your Wondrous Love
to harassed refugees.
Watch us like a Mother,
shelter and protect us
from those whose words can kill.
Threat-hurlers surround us,
their proud mouths yip and yap,
from hard-shelled hearts clammed shut
their mean looks pummel us.
Face them down now, Spirit.
Free us from high-flying
doom-deservers who stuff
their bored children senseless.
We will see You and rest
our case in the morning.
