about

We need prayers and actions to move us forward, not mire us in false nostalgia. With its responsive refrains, this all-English closing prayer can engage groups of people in singing at any gathering, Jewish, multi-faith, multi-cultural, service, vigil, action, concert.

lyrics

Closing Prayer
Lyrics & Music: Jessi Roemer
Inspired by words from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

May the waves of justice (carry us forward)
And the sunrays of song (carry us on)
May the arc of history (carry us forward)
Bend towards love (carry us on)
Waves of compassion (carry us forward)
Lift us along (carry us on)
May the courage of children (carry us forward)
Be nurtured and grow (carry us on)
And the fires of our elders (carry us forward)
Guide us on the road (carry us on)
Guide us towards justice (carry us forward)
Guide us towards love (carry us on)
Guide us towards justice (carry us forward)
Guide us towards love (carry us on)
Amen (Amen)
Amen (Amen)
Amen (Amen)
Amen (Amen)
