A Blessing for those Waiting for Justice and Deliverance
(for those imprisoned in NW China)
In this waiting
Which feels so long, too long
When despair nags at our heels
Bless us with hope,
Bless us with prayers to pray
With names of precious people we know
And do not know
Names and faces of captives and prisoners
We can hold before you
And honor them and honor you, their creator
Bless the space, the time
Between now and their deliverance
May they know your presence,
Your love, your goodness
May they know you hear
The cry of the afflicted
Even if the cry comes
Silently from their hearts
Bless them with
Lifting the heavy burden
With healing their
Broken bodies
Their broken hearts
Lift their heads
Lift their hearts
To hope, to wait, to know
You are coming
and have not
forgotten them
