In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
From the ICE-men who break into our homes and beat up our families
Deliver us, O Lord
From the anti-ICE who invade our churches on Sunday mornings
Deliver us, O Lord
From the ICE gunfire in our streets
Deliver us, O Lord
From the anti-ICE gunfire in our streets
Deliver us, O Lord
From the tear gas on our playgrounds
Deliver us, O Lord
From government-sponsored kidnappings
Deliver us, O Lord
From fires and looting
Deliver us, O Lord
From explosions in the night
Deliver us, O Lord
From strangers roaming around with guns
Deliver us, O Lord
From the unmarked SUVs that circle our block
Deliver us, O Lord
From the violence-pornographers who take our pictures
Deliver us, O Lord
Grant your children rest this night, O Lord
Or if we must be wakeful
Make the shooting stop
Amen
In the Name of…shhhhh!...they’re beating on the door…don’t let them hear you…
