Faithful Servant
O Lord Jesus,
Judge of the nations and Defender of the poor,
look upon the unrepentant rulers of this land.
They have opened the gates to foreigners,
not to bless, but to oppress;
they have wounded the economy,
and brought harm upon the citizens whom You love.
They have made us strangers in our own country,
and exalted wealth above righteousness.
They have silenced the cries of the locals,
mocked the pleas of the needy,
and scorned those who would stand for truth.
For the sake of gain they have betrayed their people;
for the sake of power they have despised justice.
They have neglected the poor,
burdened the weak,
and turned their hearts against their own.
`
Arise, O Lord, and cast judgment!
Thwart their schemes to replace the locals;
frustrate their plans that bring injustice;
let their plots be overturned by Your mighty hand.
May their corruption be exposed,
their pride brought low,
their arrogance cut off.
Let not decay consume this land,
but let Your righteousness shine forth again.
Hear the cry of Your people, O Lord Jesus;
vindicate the oppressed,
and restore this nation in Your truth.
Amen.
