If we are worth saving,
Give us fortitude.
If we are worth saving,
Give us creativity.
If we are worth saving,
Give us ingenuity.
If we are worth saving,
Give us tolerance.
If we are worth saving,
Give us cooperation.
If we are worth saving,
Give us leadership.
If we are worth saving,
Give us resolve.
If we are worth saving,
Give us hope.
Amen.
