There’s no longer any doubt; victory
is ours: promised, claimed, sent,
and is coming as sure as the sunrises.
Yet, we cannot, must not, and
will not allow ourselves
to become like our oppressors;
For, we are the children of the author
of love and peace; always forgiving,
remembering never to forget.
We need not want to—have to—
ask forgiveness of those who continuously
inflict transgressions upon us and our generations.
Though we will never become as our oppressors,
we can’t and never ever will forget what was done.
And when all is said and done, we’ll never let it repeat.
Into this world, our God created us gifted, beautiful and free;
ours was a birth of freedom, peace and everlasting love.
So, we claim the victory oh Lord: “…Thy will be done…”
