We Denounce These Acts of Terror

(Psalm 54)

Calling out evil when we see it.

We denounce these acts of terror
Holy One, your will be done
As we fight the way of hatred
Keep us on the path of love
You will always be upholding life
You will be upholding life

We surrender rights to vengeance,
vowing to lay down our guns
Make us channels of your justice
Bless the politics to come
You will always be upholding life
You will be upholding life

Some say, “God, repay their evil
cruelty back on their heads"
Would that be our longed-for justice?
Would that make the violence end?
You will always be upholding life
You will be upholding life

Far as it depends on us, we’ll
live in peace with everyone
We surrender rights for vengeance
Holy One, your will be done
You will always be upholding life
You will be upholding life
