God, we bless you for our freedoms, liberty of life and thought, liberty from fear and hunger, daily granted, dearly bought, ways that we are free to choose, earth that we are free to use. God, we bless you for the people, prophet people, standing tall when our human rights are threatened, when the weak go to the wall, where oppression thunders by and another's freedoms die. God, we ask to be forgiven for the liberties denied, when our view of race or gender makes us woefully one-eyed, when the freedoms we possess are the systems that oppress. God, we bless you for the choices still you offer humankind, liberation by the Spirit in the charter you designed: Love and Freedom, Love that saves, we your children, not your slaves.
