Prayer For the Fulfillment Of The Universal Commandment

Prayer For Fulfillment Of The Universal Commandment

God of light

Ruling over the blind

Do not let us call you

God of darkness

Do not let us blasphemy

Do not let us steal our truth

Do not let us kill for strength

Do not let us sell our souls for love

or call a mob a civilization

or worship the greatest bully

who sends false prophets and preachers

to try to blackmail us through our sins

God of light

illuminate our hearts

and make them see

lest we rip and tear

every living thing with our teeth

God of light

Healer of the blind

spark a soft glow of faith in You

in our hearts to warm our minds

and to spread into our eyes

We look on our idols and empires

and see nothing of our blind dreams

Only the works of Your hands are before us

Steer our tongues to pilot our ship

away from the cliffs of anger

and the rocks of deceit and arrogance

Every tongue gives voice to Your name

Our lips love to speak Your truth

Turn all our work of learning into learning love

and all our violence into healing

Our hands and feet serve every soul

Our prayers nurse heaven and earth

Transform our sins

into simple childish errors

and transform our errors

into paths of instruction in righteousness

We allow the wise to judge us

Those with understanding follow the child

Our words were a cancer of immorality

make them songs of faith in every heart

We tore the limbs off of every living thing

to satisfy our hunger

Satisfy our hunger with mercy

We thirst for the lovingkindness of Your word

Cradle us as newborns in Your arms
