O God, my God, I seek
you;
my soul thirsts for a
sign of compassion
for those who are in
the dry and weary land of war.
You know all people
and what is in everyone.
Is there an evil
spirit at work that makes us
deal with savage
cruelty to one another?
Has Satan filled our
hearts with evil?
Come bring your
healing peace.
