For the immigrants--
our neighbors, our friends, our family, ourselves--
beloved of God--
the cupped hands of Jesus
collect our tears.
For those whose rights are being stripped away--
our neighbors, our friends, our family, ourselves--
beloved of God--
the cupped hands of Jesus
collect our fears.
For those whose tender hearts break and grieve today--
our neighbors, our friends, our family, ourselves--
beloved of God--
the fragile hands of Jesus
draw us near.
