Without hope, there is despair; our prayer for deliverance

[baggywrinkle]

In a country that was once free, where men dressed in black now burst through your door in the night and shoot you dead, where the high court affirms their right to do so, and the castle doctrine of English common law is ruled out dated.

We remember that we are ambassadors in a strange land, that is not our home. We take comfort in our ability to raise up our voices and sing praise to our true home. As long as we are able to work together successfully & sing from the same sheet of music - there is still hope for a better tomorrow.

If not in this world, then the next.

Whenever two or more are gathered in his name, lay down your cares and raise
up your voices to sing with whatever faith burns in your breast. What then
transpires is nothing short of miraculous.

Why not deliver yourself?
You know how, maybe you forgot.

When you raise up your voices and sing you not only stave off despair and frustrate
your jailers, you teach your children by example a message which goes beyond
words. Long after you are gone they will remember and carry on the song

...and they are our hope for the future.

Does anyone notice the irony of Russia Today reporting on American police brutality?

It is now against the law to dance. How long before it is against the law to sing?
Ahh, but there is nothing new under the sun. If one refers to the bloody theater
you will find that tongues were removed before the brethren were burned alive to
prevent them from singing...

In their arrogance and folly they will not hesitate to legislate against song, against prayer,
against faith, and against hope.

They might as well pass a law against tornadoes...
