For the ones that oppose you,
For the ones that hold your strength in vain.
I lift them all up to you, place upon us steadfastness;
maintain the grace upon their hearts.
We are your small people, Lord God,
Let your name be magnified as we carry your light.
Empower us to put forward your righteousness and love.
Lord, until your promise is fulfilled, help us burn cleanly,
putting our hearts on display for others to see true faith.
Keep us away from people who take away our peace,
Align our hearts and minds so that confusion would not take hold.
For your glory, honor, and future generations.
