Shepherd of Ferguson

Shepherd of Ferguson, listen to us.
Leader of us, hear our weeping.

You led our forefathers in their struggles, now lead us.
You have angels at your command.

Show up here! Join our leaders.
Stand up. Be strong and help us.
Fix our busted and broken bodies.
Show up. Save us.

God of the masses. Are you angry with us?
Is that why you are silent?
Is that why we have fought alone?

We have been crying out and eating our own sorrow.
Our fellow citizens hate us.
Our enemies make jokes about us.
Racists threaten us. Police beat us.

Fix our busted and broken bodies.
Show up and save us.
Reach out and touch us.
Let us know you are present with us.

You gave us strength, we need more of it.
Give us justice and we will shout your name.
We will never stop.

Stay Woke.
