“We thank you, God, right now for grace and mercy. Have your way, God. Turn the system upside down defending your people tonight. Move by your spirit, God. No longer going to jail, Father. They throwing them in there and throwing away the key, Father. But, God, let them come out. Open the doors for Black. Open the doors for Red. Open the doors back for Hot, in the name of Jesus.”
