Lord, so great is our love for You
that even though we walk in a world
where speaking Your name can mean certain death,
Your faithful still speak it loudly.
Help us to work for a world where all may speak
their creeds and pray their prayers without
fear of violence.
Hear the prayers of those who abide with You
in dangerous times and dark valleys,
and who die with Your name on their lips.
Draw them quickly to Your side
where they might know eternal peace.
Amen.
