Humility, a
humbleness with power
calling us,
praying that we, that our nation
may use our
freedom, our liberty, our might
Our freedom with
reverence, our calling
from the beginning
of time
Stewards of the
world;
but we are human
only,
far below the mind
of God.
Our prayer in
remembrance of our dead,
of our saints who
have gone before,
of those living
and those yet to come
A call to us, to
servanthood
the awesome
responsibility
Not just the going
on our own
turning to our God,
as the source of
our strength

Freedom with Reverence
Unison Prayer
“Eternal God, who created us in your own image.
Enable us to fearlessly contend against evil and to
make no peace with oppression.
May we use our freedom with reverence, and
for the establishment of justice to the glory of
your holy name; through Jesus Christ our Savior.”
