Heavenly Father, We have answered Your call to proclaim
liberty throughout the land. In Your Law
you told Israel every 50 years to blow the trumpet and proclaim liberty. Debts forgiven, slaves freed, the land at
rest and restored to its owner. Your Son
came and proclaimed this acceptable year of Yours, and we rejoice in it. You have set us free indeed in the work of
Jesus, His teaching and healing, suffering and dying, His resurrection and
rising to Your throne, His interceding and sending us the Spirit, His future
return. Lord, in this we are free!
Stand up, O God, be present now. Let us sing and dance and shout for joy, for
You set the prisoner free and bring him home.
You cast down the tyrant, that ancient serpent the devil. And You will overthrow every one of his minions
who oppress here on earth. Lord, You
have saved us from the pit, and we come here with music, young and old, asking
you to cast down the proud oppressor, and bring to all the nations the liberty
that comes only from Your Son our Lord, Jesus Christ.
