I feel the burdens of your oppressed &
I see the blood that is being drained from your veins.
I’ve read of the plunging/ exploitation of your land &
I hear the cry of your cities because of the yolk of injustice.
Of you there is a history of pain, bloodshed & colonial dread,
but in you is joy & a resilience that many don’t quiet understand.
I pray for the unity of your people &
for a purging of hostility from their heart.
That the adversary would no longer
continue to tear you apart.
CONGO
I plead a greater blood
upon your people
and upon your land.
I plead the blood of Jesus
That speaks a better word…
It speaks redemption
It speaks forgiveness
It speaks justice
It speaks peace
It speaks salvation
of you
CONGO.
