If
If I could amend
If I could transcend
a new life I'd begin
I'd be the mother I should have been
If I could alleviate
If words could ameliorate
the discouragement you feel
You'd always hear words of comfort that heal
If abuse were stopped
If its affects were lopped
I would shout out loud
"This devastation is not allowed"
If sickness we could terminate
If death we could eliminate
We would see no more tears
We would hear happy cheers
If... does not depend on me or you
All these wrongs... Jehovah will undo
Its not a matter of if---but when
Trust in Jehovah with all your heart---until then
