Prayer of the 246 million child laborers,
250,000 infected with HIV/AIDS every month,
and 300,000 child soldiers
Only You can heal
The wounds in our hearts
Only You can hear
The cry of our spirit
Only You can breatheLife into the dead bones
Only You can set us free
Only You can sustain our world
Bringing together all people
Into one peaceful family
Only You, God, Can
It is in your name,
El Elyon,*
We trust.
