Jesus, Lord of the
sabbath, and Lord of our lives,
break the yokes that
separate us from you,
and set us free to
serve you.
Like birds caught in
the snare of the fowlers,
release the snare, that
we may escape.
Rescue us from the
power of darkness, O God,
and transfer us into
the kingdom of your Son,
that we may lead
lives worthy of him.

Jer. 30:8-9
On that day [of distress], says the LORD of hosts, I will

shall no more make a servant of him. But they shall serve the LORD their
God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

…so that you may lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully
pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the
knowledge of God. … [The Father] has rescued us from the power of
darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son…
