spenser lajoye - plowshare prayer lyrics

[verse 1]
dear blessed creator, dear mother, dear savior
dear father, dear brother, dear holy other
dear sibling, dear baby, dear patiently waiting
dear sad and confused, dear stuck and abused

[verse 2]
dear end of your rope, dear worn out and broke
dear go it alone, dear running from home
dear righteously angry, forsaken by family
dear jaded and quiet, dear tough and defiant

[chorus]
i pray that i’m heard
and i pray that this works
i pray if a prayer has been used as a sword
against you and your heart
against you and your word
i pray that this prayеr is a plowshare of sorts

[bridge]
that it might break you open
it might hеlp you grow
i pray that your body gets all that it needs
and if you don’t want healing
i just pray for peace
i pray that your burden gets lighter each day
i pray the mean voice in your head goes away
i pray that you honor the grief as it comes
i pray you can feel all the life in your lungs
i pray that if you go all day being brave
that you can go home, go to bed
feeling safe
i pray you’re forgiven. i pray you forgive
i pray you set boundaries and openly live
i pray that you feel you are worth never leaving
i pray that you know i will always believe you
[chorus]
i pray that you’re heard
and i pray that this works

[verse 3]
amen on behalf of the last and the least
on behalf of the anxious, depressed and unseen
amen for the workers, the hungry, the houseless
amen for the lonely and recently spouseless

[verse 4]
amen for the queers and their closeted peers
amen for the bullied who hold in their tears
amen for the mothers of little black sons
amen for the kids who grow up scared of guns

[verse 5]
amen for the addicts, ashamed and hungover
amen for the calloused, the wisened, the sober
amen for ones who want life to be over
amen for the leaders who lose their composure

[verse 6]
and amen for the parents who just lost their baby
amen for chronically ill and disabled
amen for the children down at the border
amen for the victims of our law and order
[chorus]
i pray that you’re heard
and i pray that this works
i pray if a prayer has been used as a sword
against you and your heart
against you and your word
i pray that this prayer is a plowshare of sorts
