God of creation who promised to bring light to the nations
Jesus the Word of God who broke the power of death
Holy Spirit who is the presence of that promised salvation
With your strong arm set the captives free
By the force of your righteousness show yourself faithful
To those in captivity
To the children enslaved
To the men and women in bond
In the depth of your love release the ones who enslave from their bondage to death
May your Kingdom come in this dirt here and now
God our Father make this a city of refuge
A place of safety and consolation
Guide your people to bind up the brokenhearted
Empower us to truly proclaim as one:
Freedom
Amen
