Miracle Prayer - Anodea Judith

Miracle Prayer

Mistress of Miracles, come to us now,
Out of the darkness, out of the earth.
Mistress of Miracles, we offer our vow,
To awaken the tides of our nation’s rebirth.

As the snow-topped peaks melt in rivers and streams,
As the grasses and flowers poke up from the land,
As the baby emerges from the womb’s land of dreams,
May the lies be revealed, may the truth take a stand.

As the rainbow emerges from storms in the sky,
As the eagle sees all with his wide roving eye,
As our deep wounds can heal, as the heart’s wings can fly,
May the old ways of power now wither and die.

May the ways of oppression now move to the past.
May all that is sacred be protected at last.
May wars wrought from killing for power and greed
Be replaced with compassion, that all may be freed.

May our leaders reflect the hopes that we share
For a world ruled in balance, by a people who care.
May the poor be rewarded, may the land be preserved,
May those who exploit get what they deserve.

Mistress of Magic, come out of your cave
Come aid in our efforts, there’s a world to be saved.
We need a miracle, of that we are sure
Save us from madness, bring us a cure.
