Gracious God, you are good to all;
your compassion is over all you have made.
Lord Jesus, the Spirit was upon you,
anointing you to bring good news to the poor,
and to proclaim release to the captives,
recovery of sight to the blind,
and freedom to the oppressed.
And we, what shall be our response?
Your righteousness atoned for our sins;
pray help us show mercy to the oppressed and--
believing in your name--love one another.
