The following prayer was written as a responsive prayer for Martin Luther King Day which commemorates Martin Luther King’s birthday. It is a day used to promote equal rights for all Americans, though I like to expand that to consider it as a day to promote equal rights for all people.
May we dream of a world made new,
Where together we shout for justice,
And as one we fight against oppression.
May we dream of a world made new,
Where together we seek God’s righteousness
And as one we sing God’s praise.
May we dream of a world made new,
Where together we climb God’s mountain,
And as one we enter the promised land.
May we dream of a world made new,
Where together we proclaim the good news of God’s kingdom,
And as one we enjoy its peace, and abundance and love.
