A PRAYER OF A BIBLE LECTURER, WHOSE VILLAGE IS EXPERIENCING ETHNIC VIOLENCE

In a village once full of life and grace,
Torn apart now by ethnic violence and hate,
A lecturer of the Word, a shepherd true,
Mourns now the loss of peace and the harm done
to his people once again.

With every verse, every passage so dear,
The Bible taught us love, forgiveness, and hope to hold near,
But now, strife and fear reign in my village and surrounding areas,
And the darkness seems to suffocate, to remain.

Yet, even in the midst of pain and strife,
God's message of hope, of love, becomes our life,
A beacon in the darkness, a guiding light,
Reminding us that God's love will never subside.

May the Bible and its teachings, be a balm to the
troubled souls of my people.
May the Almighty God bring healing and peace,
and stability to my people and land, and make us
whole again.
May Kukiland, our motherland, feel the love and
peace once again,
And may the message of hope forever be released.

O heavenly Father, I beseech thine favour,
May our Church's worship service renew and resume,
May your healing touch be upon my people,
May peace and normalcy return to our land.
May you judge those who wounded us.
May your name be glorified and exalted to the nations.
