Intervene in our affairs Lord

As we embark

On a year-long holiday

To recuperate

To rejuvenate

And to reciprocate

The bounteous love of God

Intervene in our affairs Lord

As we decree

The Sabbath of Sabbaths

Offering and receiving

Forgiveness

And living simply

That others may simply live

Intervene in our affairs Lord

As we announce

A general amnesty

For offenders

And transgressors

Prisoners and detainees

Urging them to sin no more.

Intervene in our affairs Lord

As we observe

A moratorium

On all anger and vengeance

A cessation

To all oppression and exploitation

And a cease-fire

Between warring parties

Urging them to sheath their swords

And bury the dead

Along with their hatchets

Intervene in our affairs Lord

As we sound the trumpet

Throughout the land

Proclaiming liberty

To all people

And announcing restoration

To creation

Intervene in our affairs Lord

As we celebrate the jubilee of Jesus

With the preaching of forgiveness

Healing, Reconciliation

Thanksgiving and praise.
