Lord,
have mercy,
Christ
have mercy,
Lord have mercy.

Lord have mercy
on a nation that lets evil be done in the name of good.
Lord have mercy
on a nation that lets evil be done for political gain
Lord have mercy
on a nation that lets so many celebrate evil in the name of free choice
Lord have mercy on a nation allows evil in the name of personal right.

Have mercy on us Lord,
for those of us who have not spoken out
when we saw the evil done,
have mercy on us Lord,
for those who knew the consequences of our actions,
but did them anyway
because they felt good
or seemed appropriate
even though they encouraged the dark.

O Lord, you are light
Teach us to be laterns for your light
to carry your truth everywhere
to shine light into the crevasses where darkness hides,
this day, and always,
Amen.
