[Intro] Let us pray, Rainbow Christ you embody All the colors of the world Rainbows serve as bridges between different realms Heaven and Earth, East and West, queer and non-queer Inspire us to remember the value expressed in the rainbow flag of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender And Queer community [instrumental interlude] [Verse #1] Red is for life, the root of spirit Living in self-loving Christ You are our root, free us from shame and Grant us the grace of healthy pride so we can follow our own inner light With the red stripe in the rainbow, we give thanks that God created us Just the way we are [instrumental interlude] [Verse #2] Orange is for sexuality, the fire of spirit Erotic Christ, you are our fire, the word made flesh Free us from exploitation and grant us the grace of mutual relationships With the orange stripe in the rainbow, kindle a fire of passion in us [instrumental interlude] [Verse #3] Yellow is for self-esteem, the core of spirit Our Christ, you are our core, free us from closets of secrecy And give us the guts and grace to come out With the yellow stripe in the rainbow, build our confidence [instrumental interlude] [Verse #4] Green is for love, the heart of spirit Transgressive outlaw Christ, you are our heart Breaking rules out of love In a world obsessed with purity, you touch the sick and eat with outcasts Free us from conformity and grant us the grace of deviance With the green stripe in the rainbow, fill our hearts with untamed compassion for all beings [instrumental interlude] [Verse #5] Blue is for self-expression, the voice of spirit Liberator Christ, you are our voice, speaking out against all forms of oppression Free us from apathy and grant us the grace of activism With the blue stripe in the rainbow, motivate us to call for justice [instrumental interlude] [Verse #6] Violet is for vision, the wisdom of spirit Interconnected Christ, you are our wisdom Free us from isolation and grant us the grace of interdependence With the violet stripe in the rainbow, connect us with others and with the whole creation [instrumental interlude] [Outro] Rainbow colors come together to make one light The crown of universal consciousness Hybrid and all-encompassing Christ, you are our crown Both human and divine, free us from rigid categories And grant us the grace of interwoven identities With the rainbow, lead us beyond black and white thinking to experience The whole spectrum of life Rainbow Christ, you light up the world You make rainbows as a promise to support all life on Earth In the rainbow space, we can see all the hidden connections between sexualities, genders, and races Like the rainbow, may we embody all the colors of the world Amen --- [PS: Song based on the Rainbow Christ Prayer from Kittredge Cherry and Patrick S.
