O Lord Jesus, God
sent you to let the oppressed go free.
Our spirits faint
within us, our hearts are appalled,
when we consider how
many in this world
are being sold,
destroyed, killed.
God did extraordinary
miracles through Paul;
in your name what
miracle will God
do to relieve this
suffering?
And through whom?
