For the yellow and blue nation;
the yellow land of wheat and sunflowers;
the blue sky of hope and peace:
may bullies not prosper,
may those who make war, draw back
may those who terorise others, understand kindness.
Holy Creator, God of icons and incense,
Refugee Christ, inhabiting an occupied land,
Hopeful Spirit of truth and reconcilliation:
May you, the Eternal Three in One,
dance in the fields and skies of Ukraine,
binding up the wounded,
embracing the fearful
ushering in a life of peace with justice.
We who, from afar, see only the terrors, injury and damage,
stand alongside all who genuinely seek peace.
