Lord, your court is now in session.
We are the defendants. You are the judge, prosecutor, and witness.
You do not testify against us regarding our religion.
We offer you the right sacrifices in the right way at the right time. We know how to go through the motions.
Instead you testify against us regarding our relationships.
We neglect the poor. We are unfaithful to our spouses. We speak to and about others in ways that are evil.
All your accusations are true. GUILTY is the right verdict.
But grant us mercy, O Judge! Parole us that we might right our wrongs.
Teach us to value our relationships as much as we value our religion.
